Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is generally natural and relevant, with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, reduce filler words (uh), avoid minor grammar slips, and make one or two sentences more concise. Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., use 'often' or 'frequently', 'neighbourhood rides' or 'explored local streets') and ensure each sentence adds new information without repetition.

例: Yes — I had a bike as a child and rode it almost every day after school. I often rode around my neighbourhood with a close friend, exploring local streets and parks. Cycling was one of my favourite activities because it gave me freedom and a chance to play outdoors.

提案: Your response addresses the question but has several issues: frequent fillers (uh), a pronunciation/word-choice error ('write' instead of 'ride'), an unfinished final thought, and limited specific details. To improve, correct word choice, finish the comparison or contrast, add a clear reason or example, and use linking words (for example, however, because). Keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences).

例: Yes, bikes are fairly popular, especially among young people who ride for exercise and leisure. However, cycling is less common than driving in big cities because of heavy traffic and limited bike lanes. For example, many university students cycle short distances to save money and avoid traffic.

× I usually rode around my neighborhood with my friend and we had a lot of fun together.

✓ I usually rode around my neighborhood with my friends and we had a lot of fun together.

The original sentence uses 'my friend' but context implies repeated activity with more than one friend or at least a habitual companion; however this is not strictly a past tense issue. More relevant is singular/plural agreement. To follow the instruction to only correct mistakes that match the provided list, treat this as Past tense issue because the tense is correct; no past tense correction is needed. No change required for tense; if the speaker meant one friend, keep 'my friend'. Suggestion: ensure intended meaning (singular vs plural).

× Uh, some people write them for, uh, exercise, uh, while others, uh, use them for just fun and I don't think cycling is as common as.

✓ Some people ride them for exercise, while others use them just for fun, and I don't think cycling is very common.

The main error is a wrong verb: 'write' should be 'ride' (verb choice). This falls under Verb usage but matching closest IDs: treat as 'Verb + -ing form' is not exact. The sentence also ends incomplete: 'as' needs an object; corrected to 'very common'. Explanation: replace 'write' with 'ride' to convey cycling, remove filler 'uh', place 'just' before 'for fun' or 'use them just for fun', and complete the comparison by saying 'very common'. Suggestion: choose verbs that match the activity and finish comparative clauses (e.g., 'as common as cars' or use 'very common').
