Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural, concise, and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Use correct verb forms and articles, and avoid redundancy (e.g., “I remembered that” is unnecessary after “When I was young”).

例: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. My mother bought it for my eighth birthday, and I spent afternoons riding around the neighborhood with my friends.

提案: Improve clarity and accuracy, correct word choice, and provide a brief reason or example. Use linking words for coherence (e.g., “because,” “however,” “for example”). Avoid vague phrases like “work on their legs.”

例: Not really — cycling isn’t very popular in my country because few people use bikes for daily transport. Instead, many prefer walking or jogging for exercise; for example, parks are usually full of runners rather than cyclists.

× When I was young I remembered that I used to have bike as my mom bought it for me as a birthday gift when I was 8.

✓ When I was young I remember that I used to have a bike because my mom bought it for me as a birthday gift when I was eight.

Problems: 'remembered' with 'used to' is inconsistent (tense issue) and 'have bike' misses an article and number. According to the allowed types, use of past participle form (or past/present tense confusion) applies because 'remembered' should be present 'remember' when reporting a past habitual with 'used to' in a spoken response; more precisely this is a Present tense issue (6) vs Past tense (5), but fits 'Verb in the past participle form' as a nearest allowed type. Correction reasons: use 'remember' to state a memory in present, keep 'used to have' for past habit, add the article 'a' before 'bike', and write numbers as words for clarity ('eight'). Suggestion: say 'I remember that I used to have a bike' or 'I had a bike when I was eight' to avoid tense clash.

× I don't think there's much popular because I rarely see people write it.

✓ I don't think bikes are very popular because I rarely see people ride them.

Problems: 'there's much popular' is ungrammatical and uses incorrect article/reference; 'write it' is wrong verb. Classified under incorrect use of the definite article and general sentence structure issues; corrected to 'bikes are very popular' and 'ride them' to match meaning. Explanation: use 'bikes are' rather than 'there is' for countable plural; 'very' modifies 'popular'; 'ride' is the correct verb for bicycles and 'them' refers back to bikes. Suggestion: use 'I don't think bikes are popular' or 'I don't think many people ride bikes'.

× I normally see people just work on their legs and like jogging and running instead of bicycling.

✓ I usually see people just exercise their legs by jogging or running instead of riding bicycles.

Problems: 'work on their legs' and 'like jogging and running' use incorrect prepositions and phrasing. Classified under incorrect use of prepositions. Correction: use 'exercise their legs by' to show means, use 'jogging or running' as gerunds after 'by', and use 'riding bicycles' as the activity contrasted. Suggestion: say 'I usually see people jog or run rather than ride bicycles' for a more natural phrasing.
