Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is direct and grammatical, which is good. To improve, make the response slightly longer (but under five sentences) by adding a brief reason or a short detail to make it more natural and informative. Use a linking phrase to connect ideas (for example, “because” or “so”). Avoid one-word or very short replies when asked follow-ups.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one. As a result, I usually walked or took the bus to school, but I always wanted a bike to ride with friends.

提案: Your answer addresses the question but is vague and slightly awkward (the word “Question.” appears and should be omitted). Improve by giving a clearer statement, supporting it with a specific reason or example, and using linking words (for example, “however,” “for instance,” or “because”). Also avoid overgeneralizations like “only”; if you mean ‘mostly’, say so and give evidence.

例: Yes, bikes are generally popular in my country; however, they are more commonly used by men in public areas. For instance, many men commute to work by bicycle, while women tend to use public transport or cars for safety and cultural reasons.

× Question. Yes they are popular, but only men ride out in the streets.

✓ Yes, they are popular, but only men ride out on the streets.

The pronoun 'they' correctly refers to 'bikes' (plural) so pronoun use is acceptable; however, the preposition 'in' with 'the streets' is less natural than 'on the streets' in this context. This falls under incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11). Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity and remove the stray word 'Question.' which appears to be extraneous. Suggestion: use 'on the streets' to indicate activity occurring along the roadways and include a comma after introductory 'Yes'.
