Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the sentence grammatically correct, concise, and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g. “Yes, I did.” or “No, I didn’t.”), then give 1–2 brief supporting details using linking words. Use the past tense correctly and avoid unnecessary words like “it.”

例: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle that I rode to my friend’s house almost every day when I was about eight. Because my neighborhood was quiet and safe, cycling was one of my favorite activities.

提案: Answer directly, then support with clear, specific reasons and linking words. Use correct grammar and coherent sentence structure. For example, start with “Not really” or “They are quite popular,” then add reasons using linking words such as “because” or “however.” Include one specific example or comparison.

例: Not really. In my city, many people prefer cars because traffic is heavy and cycling can be unsafe. For example, most families own cars for convenience, so bicycles are less common for daily travel.

× When I was child, I had to bicycle it.

✓ When I was a child, I had a bicycle.

The noun 'child' requires the indefinite article 'a' in this context ('a child') so use article error (ID 22). Also 'had to bicycle it' is ungrammatical: 'have a bicycle' expresses possession and 'bicycle' here should be a noun, not a verb; this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Suggestion: use 'When I was a child, I had a bicycle.' to correctly show past possession and correct article use.

× In my country there is a lot of traffic.

✓ In my country there is a lot of traffic.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable as written; however if emphasizing plurality you could say 'there are a lot of vehicles' but 'there is a lot of traffic' is correct. No change required.

× A lot of people like this don't We don't like the bike.

✓ A lot of people don't like bicycles.

Original has confused pronouns and word order ('like this don't We don't like the bike'). This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) and incorrect pronoun/order (ID 12). Correct form: use subject 'A lot of people' + auxiliary 'don't' + base verb 'like' + plural noun 'bicycles'. Avoid repeating subjects or inserting 'this' incorrectly.

× Some people have they had the car, something like this.

✓ Some people have cars, or they have had cars before.

Original mixes present 'have' and past 'had' and repeats pronouns unnecessarily, causing sentence structure errors (ID 26), incorrect pronoun use (ID 12), and unclear tense (IDs 5 and 6). Choose one tense: for present possession 'Some people have cars.' For past experience 'Some people have had cars.' Ensure pronoun 'they' is not duplicated with the subject.

× We don't have bikes.

✓ We don't have bikes.

This sentence is grammatically correct: 'We don't have bikes.' correctly uses plural 'bikes' for general reference. No change required.
