Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with grammar (use correct verb forms) and avoid filler words. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural and concise (max 4–5 sentences).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. However, I didn’t ride it very often because my family preferred walking or taking the bus. For example, on weekends I usually walked in the park with friends instead of cycling, so the bike stayed unused most of the time.

提案: Give a direct opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and a brief comparison. Use linking words like 'however' and 'on the other hand' to organize ideas. Avoid hedging phrases like 'I don't really know how to answer' which reduce confidence.

例: I think bikes are used in my country, but popularity varies by region. In megacities they are less common because of heavy traffic and good public transport; however, in rural areas bikes are widely used for short trips and farming tasks. For instance, many people in my hometown cycle to the market every day.

× Yeah, actually I did, but I didn't really drove it too much.

✓ Yeah, actually I did, but I didn't really drive it too much.

After 'didn't' the base form (infinitive without to) of the verb should be used. 'Did' already marks the past, so use 'drive' not 'drove'. Suggestion: use 'didn't' + base verb (didn't drive).

× I usually just walked around in the park or, uh, traveled using public transport.

✓ I usually just walk around in the park or, uh, travel using public transport.

The adverb 'usually' indicates a habitual action, which should be expressed in the present simple. The original uses past forms 'walked' and 'traveled', causing a tense mismatch. Suggestion: use 'usually' + base verb in present simple (walk, travel).

× Well, it's an interesting question, but I don't really know how to answer about this because my country is very huge and I don't think that bikes are very popular in megacities, but I think they are quite in use in more rural areas.

✓ Well, that's an interesting question, but I don't really know how to answer it because my country is very large, and I don't think bikes are very popular in megacities; I think they are used more in rural areas.

Several issues: 'it's an interesting question' is okay but 'how to answer about this' is unidiomatic—use 'how to answer it' or 'how to answer this'. 'Very huge' is awkward; use 'very large' or 'huge' alone. 'Are quite in use in more rural areas' is awkward; use 'are used more in rural areas'. Also run-on sentence: better join clauses with correct connectors or punctuation. Suggestions: replace 'how to answer about this' with 'how to answer it', use 'large' instead of 'very huge', and say 'used more in rural areas'.
