Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with grammar and keep the answer concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms (e.g., 'got' or 'managed to'), and add one brief supporting detail. Use linking words only if you add another sentence. Avoid filler words like 'like' and 'umm'.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about three years old, but I never learned to ride it. As a result, my parents kept it as a decorative item until I was older.

提案: Correct sentence structure and word choice, and make your supporting detail specific. Use plural agreement ('bikes are') and avoid repetitions. Link your ideas with a phrase like 'for example' or 'mostly' and explain briefly who uses bikes and why.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for exercise and commuting because cycling is a convenient and affordable way to stay fit.

× Yes, I used to have a bike when I was like 3 years old but I never get to learn how to ride it.

✓ Yes, I used to have a bike when I was about 3 years old, but I never got to learn how to ride it.

The clause 'I never get to learn' refers to a past situation, so the verb should be in the past tense ('got') to match 'used to have' and 'when I was 3 years old'. Also replace 'like' with 'about' for more natural age expression and add a comma before the conjunction 'but' to join two independent clauses. Grammar problem type ID: 5

× Bike are very popular in my country umm.

✓ Bikes are very popular in my country.

The subject is plural (more than one bike), so the noun should be plural 'Bikes' to agree with the plural verb 'are'. Remove filler 'umm' in formal responses. Grammar problem type ID: 27

× The bikers seem to bikes for exercising and doing cardio which is a technique to lose weight.

✓ Bikers seem to ride bikes for exercise and cardio, which is a way to lose weight.

The original sentence has missing verb after 'seem to' and awkward phrasing. 'Seem to' must be followed by a base verb (ride). Use 'ride bikes' instead of 'bikes'. 'Exercising and doing cardio' is wordy; use 'exercise and cardio'. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which is a way to lose weight' and use 'way' instead of 'technique' for naturalness here. Grammar problem type ID: 26
