Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with tense and give a slightly longer, natural response. Use the past tense for childhood and add one brief reason or detail. Keep it under five sentences and use a clear topic sentence followed by supporting detail.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family lived in a busy city and my parents thought cycling on crowded streets was unsafe, so I usually walked or took the bus to school.

提案: Improve accuracy, grammar and vocabulary, and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific supporting details and a linking word. Correct word choices (e.g., "cars" not "process", "bike" not "Pike") and use plural/singular correctly. Keep it concise and natural.

例: No, bikes are not very popular in Saudi Arabia; most people use cars for everyday transport. However, in recent years a small but growing group of people cycle for recreation and fitness, especially in parks and along coastal promenades.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'I don't' is present tense; replace with past tense negative 'I didn't' to match the time reference.

× No, in Saudi Arabia the popular transportation is a process or cars.

✓ No, in Saudi Arabia the most popular means of transportation are buses or cars.

Several issues: 'the popular transportation' is unnatural—use 'the most popular means of transportation'. 'Process' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'buses' or 'public transport'. Also number agreement: 'means' is plural and requires 'are'. Use 'most' as a quantifier. This correction matches subject-verb agreement and natural collocation.

× But uh, there is a small group people have Pike for recreation.

✓ But there is a small group of people who have bikes for recreation.

Problems: missing 'of' after 'group' ('group of people'), missing relative pronoun 'who' to link 'people' and the clause, 'Pike' is a misspelling of 'bike'. Also article and word order: 'have bikes for recreation' is natural. The corrected sentence restores proper noun phrase structure and grammar.
