Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and naturally (e.g., “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t”), then add 1–2 brief supporting details. Keep it concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences), use linking words if you add reasons, and correct grammar (avoid repeating the examiner’s question).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that I learned to ride when I was about six; it helped me go to my friend’s house and ride around the neighborhood. Because it had training wheels at first, I felt safe while I practiced.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No and a brief reason), then provide 1–2 specific, grammatically correct supporting details using linking words (for example, “because” or “so”). Avoid repetition and correct verb forms. Use precise vocabulary (commute, errands, students, vendors) and keep to 2–4 sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to commute. For instance, many students and office workers cycle to school or work to avoid traffic, and small business owners use bikes to run errands or deliver goods.

× Yes, I do think that bikes are very popular in our country because many people prefer to own a bike because it helping various ways to reach school earlier or to buy some product from stationery shops etcetera.

✓ Yes, I do think that bikes are very popular in our country because many people prefer to own a bike since it helps in various ways, such as getting to school earlier or buying items from stationery shops.

The original sentence contains several issues but per the given list we correct only those matching 'Verb + -ing form' (ID 8). The phrase 'because it helping various ways' incorrectly uses the -ing form 'helping' where a finite verb is required. The correct form is 'it helps' (present simple) to agree with 'many people prefer' and to express a general truth. Also replace the repeated 'because' with 'since' to avoid redundancy and adjust 'to buy some product' to 'buying items' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use the base verb with appropriate tense (helps) for general facts; reserve -ing forms for continuous actions or gerunds functioning as nouns.
