Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and directly responds to the question, but it is short and contains hesitation (“Uh”) and a filler phrase (“to be honest”) that reduce fluency. To improve, remove hesitations and add one brief supporting detail (reason or a short memory) using a linking word to make the response more natural and informative while staying within the 5-sentence limit.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn't space to store one. However, I often borrowed my neighbor's bike on weekends, which I really enjoyed.

提案: Your answer addresses the question but has repetition, frequent hesitations, and vague phrasing (“other other, travels,” “a good thing”). To improve: remove repeated phrases, use linking words (for example, because, therefore, however) to structure supporting details, and give a specific reason or example (e.g., cost, convenience, environment). Aim for 2–4 concise sentences with varied vocabulary relevant to transport and benefit.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people cycle to work or the market since traffic is heavy and parking is expensive, so cycling is often faster and more economical.

× Uh, to be honest, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Uh, to be honest, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

This sentence is already correct. It uses the past simple negative 'didn't have' appropriately to describe a past state. No change needed.

× Well, in my country bikes are very popular.

✓ Well, in my country bikes are very popular.

This sentence is grammatically correct: plural subject 'bikes' agrees with plural verb 'are'. No change needed.

× In my country, uh, most of the people are travelling by bikes for their day-to-day activities rather than going on a bus or other other, uh, travels.

✓ In my country, most people travel by bike for their day-to-day activities rather than taking a bus or using other forms of transport.

Problems: 'most of the people' is wordy; 'most people' is more natural. 'Are travelling' (present continuous) is inappropriate for habitual action — use simple present 'travel'. 'By bikes' should be 'by bike' to express mode of transport generally. Repeated word 'other other' is an error; 'other forms of transport' is clearer than 'travels'. Also 'going on a bus' is unnatural — use 'taking a bus'. Suggestions: use simple present for habits, use singular form after 'by' for modes of transport ('by car', 'by bike'), remove redundant words.

× I think, uh, going on a bike will be a good thing.

✓ I think riding a bike is a good idea.

Problems: 'going on a bike' is awkward — use 'riding a bike'. 'Will be a good thing' is wordy and shifts tense unnecessarily; the speaker is expressing a general opinion, so present 'is' is better. Use 'a good idea' as a natural collocation. Suggestion: use concise, natural phrasing for opinions and use simple present for general statements.
