Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve naturalness and cohesion. Start with a concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Avoid small grammatical slips (e.g., use 'neighbour's' consistently) and keep the response within 3–4 sentences. You could also give a brief reason or a short example to make it more vivid.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because new bikes were too expensive for my family. Instead, I usually walked to school, which took about twenty minutes, or I would share a neighbour’s bike with my friends when we needed to go farther. This worked well, but I remember sometimes feeling left out when others rode their own bikes.

提案: The idea is good, but the response needs better grammar, fluency and professional tone. Begin with a clear topic sentence, use correct tense and articles (e.g., 'bicycles are very popular in Taiwan'), and provide one or two specific reasons or examples linked logically. Avoid hesitation or inappropriate language and aim for 2–4 sentences total.

例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in Taiwan. Because it’s a compact island with good cycling paths, many people use bikes for short trips and commuting; for example, students often cycle to school and tourists rent bikes to explore cities.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because a new one was too expensive for my family.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because a new one was too expensive for my family.

No correction needed. The sentence correctly uses past simple tense to describe a past situation and the adjective 'expensive' correctly modifies 'one'.

× So I usually walk to school or share a neighbour's bike with my friends.

✓ So I usually walked to school or shared a neighbour's bike with my friends.

The context of the first sentence is past (when I was a child), so the habitual action should also be in the past simple (usually walked/shared). Use past simple for repeated actions in the past. Suggestion: keep tense consistent by using past simple for habits in past contexts.

× Yes and absolutely. I think bicycle was very popular in my country in Taiwan, because Taiwan is a small island and by using bicycle people can go almost everywhere they want and oh ****.

✓ Yes, absolutely. I think bicycles were very popular in my country, Taiwan, because Taiwan is a small island and by using bicycles people could go almost everywhere they wanted.

Multiple issues addressed that match listed types: 'bicycle' should be plural ('bicycles') when referring generally (Grammar problem type 1 singular and plural issue), so change to plural. The verb 'was' should agree with plural subject 'bicycles', so use 'were' (subject-verb agreement, type 27). The tense should match past context (past simple), so 'can' should become 'could' and 'want' should become 'wanted' (past tense issue, type 5). Also remove extraneous filler. Suggestions: use plural nouns for general references, ensure verb agrees with subject number, and keep tense consistent with earlier past-time frame.
