Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid using 'for' in informal speech; use 'because' and correct tense agreement (e.g., 'we didn't have'). Keep within 2–3 sentences.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one. However, I often borrowed my friend's bike to ride in the neighborhood.

提案: Give a clearer, more specific response and improve grammar and vocabulary. Start with a direct opinion, then support it with a specific reason or example. Use correct pronouns ('them' for bikes) and more precise connectors (e.g., 'for example', 'because', 'in particular').

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many children and students ride them in parks and around schools because they are cheap and convenient for short trips.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child for we don't have enough money to buy one.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we didn't have enough money to buy one.

The sentence mixes past and present tenses: 'I didn't have' is past, but 'we don't have' is present. For consistency, use past tense 'didn't have'. Also 'for' is formal and can be confusing in spoken English; 'because' clearly expresses reason. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent within the sentence and use 'because' for causal relationships in spoken answers.

× I think bikes are popular in my country because I see some children in the park riding with it.

✓ I think bikes are popular in my country because I see some children in the park riding them.

The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'bikes' (plural), so use the plural object pronoun 'them'. Also 'riding them' is a natural collocation. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents; replace singular pronouns with plural ones when referring to plural nouns.
