Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Good natural response with clear topic sentence and specific supporting details. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy and add a linking word to connect ideas more smoothly. Keep answers within 3–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (e.g., replace repeated words like "used" or "used to").

例: Yes — my father gave me a bicycle when I was a child, and I rode it around the neighborhood after school. I cycled almost every day, often with friends, so it quickly became a favorite pastime. Because it felt liberating, it also let me explore new streets and meet people nearby.

提案: Answer addresses the question but is vague and contains grammatical errors and redundancy. Improve by giving a clear opinion, specific reason(s), and using linking words. Correct tense and phrasing (e.g., "used to" incorrect here). Add an example or brief comparison to support your view.

例: Not very popular. Most people prefer cars because of long distances and limited cycling infrastructure, so cycling is mainly seen in parks or among enthusiasts. For example, in my city there are few bike lanes, which discourages commuters from cycling.

× Yes, absolutely. When I was a child, my father gave me a bicycle and I loved riding it around the neighborhood after school. I used to cycle almost every day, often with friends, and it quickly became one of my favorite pastimes because it felt freeing and let me explore.

✓ Yes, absolutely. When I was a child, my father gave me a bicycle, and I loved riding it around the neighborhood after school. I used to cycle almost every day, often with friends, and it quickly became one of my favorite pastimes because it felt freeing and allowed me to explore.

The phrase 'let me explore' is informal but not ungrammatical; however, 'allowed me to explore' is more natural and matches the past-tense narrative. This is a sentence structure and word choice improvement: use 'allowed' with an object and infinitive to clearly express permission or ability in the past. Suggestion: prefer 'allowed me to' in similar past-tense contexts for clarity.

× As far as I'm concerned, I believe that people in my country often use cars instead of bikes.

✓ As far as I'm concerned, I believe that people in my country often use cars instead of bikes.

This sentence is grammatically correct and fits the present-tense general statement about habits. No change needed; keep present simple for habitual actions.

× So bikes are not that much popular in my country, but some people used to.

✓ So bikes are not that popular in my country, but some people used to use them.

The phrase 'not that much popular' is incorrect word order and collocation. Use 'not that popular' or 'not very popular'. Also the clause 'some people used to' is incomplete; it needs the verb 'use them' to be clear. This is a combination of incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs and sentence structure: replace with 'not that popular' and add the verb phrase 'use them' after 'used to'.
