Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give a brief reason and one short supporting detail. Avoid unnecessary wording like 'when I was a child' twice and correct phrasing (use 'ride' instead of 'get on').

例: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. I couldn't ride one, so my parents never bought one for me. Instead, I walked or took the bus to school most days.

提案: Improve grammar and fluency: use present simple for habits, correct collocations, and finish the sentence. Add one specific supporting detail and a linking word for coherence.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in Japan because many people commute by bicycle to work or school. For example, in cities like Kyoto and Tokyo you can see bike parking areas near train stations, which makes cycling a convenient option.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I couldn't get on a bike.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I couldn't ride a bike.

The phrase 'get on a bike' is not incorrect, but in this context 'ride a bike' is the natural collocation to express the ability to use a bicycle. The sentence tense is correct (past simple). Suggestion: use 'ride' for clarity and naturalness when talking about using a bicycle. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Yes, I think that bikes are popular in Japan because many people are riding bikes when they commute to office or.

✓ Yes, I think that bikes are popular in Japan because many people ride bikes when they commute to the office.

The sentence mixes continuous form 'are riding' with a habitual action; habitual actions are normally expressed with the simple present 'ride'. Also 'commute to office' is missing the article 'the'. Remove the trailing 'or.' and use 'the office'. Suggestion: use simple present for habits and include the definite article before 'office'. Grammar problem type ID:6
