Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is understandable but has grammatical errors, redundancy and a slightly unclear structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb tenses, and remove repetition. Add one brief supporting detail with a linking word. For example, correct "we live to We used to live" to "we used to live," and replace "wasting lots of money" with a more natural phrase such as "it wasn't cost-effective."

例: No, I didn't. We used to live in a city where public transport was convenient, so it wasn’t cost-effective for my family to buy a bike.

提案: Good idea and relevance, but phrasing and word choice need polishing. Use a full sentence to answer first, then add a reason with a linking word. Replace "off roads" with "off-road routes" or "paths," and use "touring and adventure riding" for clarity. Keep it concise and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular. For example, there are many off-road routes and scenic paths, so people enjoy touring and adventure riding on bicycles.

× No, I didn't, because we live to We used to live in a city where we can use public transport rather than buying bike and wasting lots of money.

✓ No, I didn't, because we used to live in a city where we could use public transport rather than buy a bike and waste a lot of money.

Issues: present tense and modal choice. The student mixed present 'we live' with past context; the question asked about childhood so past tense 'used to live' is correct (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). Also 'can use' should be 'could use' to match past tense (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). 'Buying bike' is missing an article and should be infinitive 'buy a bike' after 'rather than' when contrasting actions (Grammar Problem Type ID 22/26). 'Wasting lots of money' is awkward; use 'waste a lot of money' and match tense. Suggestion: keep verbs consistent in past (used to, could, buy, waste) and include the article 'a' before 'bike'.

× Yeah, because there are lots of off roads for riders and doing the touring or adventure, so bikes are popular in my country.

✓ Yes, because there are lots of off-road routes for riders and for touring or adventure, so bikes are popular in my country.

Problems: phrasing and tense/word choice. 'Off roads' is incorrect; use 'off-road routes' or 'off-road areas' (Grammar Problem Type ID 13). 'Doing the touring or adventure' is ungrammatical; use 'for touring or adventure' (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). 'Yeah' is informal; 'Yes' is preferable in a test. Maintain present simple 'are popular' which is correct for a general statement, but the sentence needed clearer noun phrases and prepositions (Grammar Problem Type ID 11). Suggestion: use 'off-road routes' and 'for touring or adventure' to make the sentence grammatical and natural.
