Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is correct but too short and lacks detail. To improve, begin with a topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., who gave it to you, how you used it, or a memorable experience). Use a linking word if you add more than one detail. Keep responses natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I did — I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. It was a gift from my parents and I used it to ride around the neighborhood every afternoon, which helped me become more confident on the road.

提案: Your answer expresses a clear opinion but is informal and a bit vague. Improve by giving a concise topic sentence, then add specific supporting details and use a linking word. Replace casual contractions like '’cause' with 'because' and explain why bikes are popular (e.g., affordability, convenience, culture, or environment).

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many students and workers use them for short commutes. For example, they are affordable and practical for getting to school or local markets, especially in congested urban areas.

× Yes, of course 'cause that's the transport we used for when going to school.

✓ Yes, of course, because that's the transport we used to go to school.

The sentence uses an incorrect prepositional/verb pattern: 'used for when going to school' is awkward and ungrammatical. Use the correct infinitive pattern 'used to + verb' or the structure 'used for + noun'. Here the intended meaning is habitual past action, so 'used to go to school' is appropriate. Also expand the contraction 'cause' to 'because' and add a comma after 'of course' for clarity.
