Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh), and add one brief supporting detail to enrich the answer. Also correct minor phrasing to sound more natural (e.g., "I didn't have my own bike" rather than "I did not have a bike").

例: I didn't have my own bike as a child, but I often borrowed my cousin's. For example, we would ride together to the park on weekends, which was my favourite way to spend the afternoon.

提案: Make the response more natural, organized and less repetitive. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because / also). Avoid labeling groups insensitively—use neutral phrasing like "many people" or "those with lower incomes". Use plural agreement and smoother connectors (e.g., "for transportation and daily chores").

例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. For one thing, many people use them because they are affordable compared with cars or motorbikes; additionally, bicycles are practical for short trips and daily chores such as shopping or commuting to work.

× No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses past simple to describe a past situation. Keep as is.

× I used to ride, uh, my cousin's bike.

✓ I used to ride my cousin's bike.

Remove the filler 'uh' in formal responses. The phrase 'used to' plus base verb 'ride' correctly indicates a habitual past action. Suggest speaking without filler words: 'I used to ride my cousin's bike.'

× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country.

Bikes is acceptable colloquially, but 'bicycles' is more formal and fits exam register. No grammatical error; this is a stylistic improvement to match formality.

× Uh, people, uh, actually poor people, they cannot afford like cars or motorbikes, so they use bicycle to ride and to do their daily chores.

✓ Actually, many poor people cannot afford cars or motorbikes, so they use bicycles to ride and to do their daily chores.

Problems addressed: remove filler 'uh' and redundant 'people' structure. 'They cannot afford like cars' is ungrammatical—'afford cars' is correct. 'Use bicycle' needs plural 'bicycles' to match 'many poor people'. Use 'many' as a quantifier. The corrected sentence uses proper subject-verb agreement and plural nouns: 'many poor people cannot afford cars or motorbikes, so they use bicycles.' Suggest practicing concise sentences and avoiding fillers.
