Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with grammar and word choice, and make your reply slightly more natural and complete. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. For example, replace “I used to cycling” with “I used to cycle” and combine short fragments into a smooth sentence.

例: Yes, I did — I used to have a bike and I often cycled with my dad by the Han River every weekend. For instance, we would ride for about an hour each time and stop for snacks at a riverside café, which was one of my favorite memories.

提案: Improve accuracy, sentence structure and clarity. Give a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and correct vocabulary. Use linking words (for example, “because” or “therefore”) and avoid unclear words like “sole” or “models.” Correct plural/singular and preposition usage: “short distances,” “use public transport,” “cycle.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in South Korea, especially in Seoul, because the city has many bike lanes and good rental schemes. As a result, for short distances many people choose to cycle or take public transport rather than drive, which helps reduce traffic and is more convenient.

× Yes, I had one and I used to cycling.

✓ Yes, I had one and I used to cycle.

The phrase 'used to' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. 'Used to cycle' correctly indicates a past habitual action. To improve, use 'used to' + base verb for repeated past actions (e.g., 'I used to play').

× Used to cycle with my dad and the Han River every weekend.

✓ I used to cycle with my dad along the Han River every weekend.

This sentence is missing the subject 'I' and the preposition 'along' is needed to indicate moving beside the river. Add the subject and correct preposition to form a complete, clear sentence: 'I used to cycle with my dad along the Han River every weekend.'

× Yes, I think it is very popular in Korea, especially in Seoul because the public transport system is super convenient and sole.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular in Korea, especially in Seoul, because the public transport system is super convenient and safe.

The student asked about 'bikes' (plural), so the pronoun should be plural ('they') and the verb agreement must match. Also 'sole' is incorrect here; likely intended word is 'safe'. Improve by matching number (bikes -> they) and using the correct adjective ('safe').

× So for short distance a lot of people take a public transport or cycling instead of models.

✓ So for short distances a lot of people take public transport or cycle instead of driving cars.

Use plural 'distances' and do not use the article 'a' before uncountable 'public transport'. 'Cycling' should be the verb form 'cycle' to parallel 'take public transport'. 'Instead of models' is unclear; likely intended 'driving cars' or 'cars'. Improve prepositions and word choice for clarity and parallel structure.
