Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve naturalness and coherence. Start with a concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid small grammar slips (e.g., "worried I might ride too far" → "worried that I might ride too far") and reduce redundancy ("a bike of my own" and repeating location phrases).

例: No, I didn't own a bike as a child because my parents were worried that I might ride too far. However, I sometimes rented one from a shop near my home, and on weekends I would cycle around the neighbourhood with friends, which was a lot of fun.

提案: The answer addresses the question but needs more natural wording, specific detail, and a linking word to expand. Correct grammar ("pretty much popular" → "quite popular"; "the most cheapest" → "the cheapest") and add an example or reason to support your claim. Keep it within a couple of sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are the cheapest form of transport for many people. For example, students and workers often cycle short distances to save money and avoid traffic during rush hour.

× No, I didn't have a bike of my own because my parents are worried I might ride too far.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike of my own because my parents were worried I might ride too far.

The sentence mixes past and present: the main clause is past ('I didn't have') so the subordinate clause should also be past. 'Are worried' should be changed to 'were worried' to maintain consistent past tense. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent by using past forms for situations that occurred in the past.

× Instead, I sometimes rented a bike from a shop a little far from home, and on weekends I ride around with my neighborhood friends.

✓ Instead, I sometimes rented a bike from a shop a little far from home, and on weekends I rode around with my neighborhood friends.

The sentence mixes past ('rented') with present ('ride'). Both actions describe past habitual behavior, so verbs should be in the past tense: 'rode' instead of 'ride'. Suggestion: when describing habitual past actions, use past simple consistently (e.g., 'I sometimes rented... and on weekends I rode...').

× Bikes in my country are pretty much popular because it's the most cheapest way of transportation here.

✓ Bikes in my country are quite popular because they are the cheapest way of transportation here.

Several issues: 'pretty much popular' is nonstandard; use 'quite popular' or 'very popular'. 'It's the most cheapest' is incorrect because 'most' and the superlative marker '-est' cannot be used together; use 'the cheapest'. Also 'it's' (it is) refers to a singular noun but 'bikes' is plural; better to use 'they are'. Suggestion: use 'quite popular' and 'the cheapest' and match number with pronouns (they are).
