Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer communicates the basic idea but is unclear, fragmented and contains many hesitations. To improve: (1) Give a clear topic sentence directly answering the question. (2) Use one or two supporting details (e.g., who you borrowed from, how often you rode) linked with simple cohesive devices such as "but" or "however". (3) Avoid long pauses and filler phrases; speak in complete short sentences and check pronunciation of key words like "borrow" and "own." (4) Keep answers concise (no more than five sentences).

例: I didn’t have a bike of my own when I was a child. Instead, I often borrowed a bicycle from my neighbour and rode it to the park on weekends. However, I only had it occasionally, so I didn’t become very confident at cycling.

提案: Your response is incomplete and very disfluent. To improve: (1) Start with a clear statement (Yes/No/It depends) as a topic sentence. (2) Provide specific supporting reasons or examples (e.g., changes in transport habits, city traffic, cost). (3) Use linking words like "because," "however," or "nowadays" to connect ideas. (4) Keep sentences short and avoid repeating words. Practice structuring a 2–3 sentence answer: statement + reason/example.

例: I think bikes are less popular now than they used to be. Nowadays many people prefer motorbikes or cars because cities have become busier and public transport has improved, so fewer people cycle for daily travel.

× As far as I remember I never had a bike of my own, but. I. No How to write a bike by borrowing a bike from my friend.

✓ As far as I remember, I never had a bike of my own. No, I only rode bikes by borrowing them from my friend.

The original contains fragments, incorrect words, and mixed punctuation making the sentence incoherent (Grammar problem type 26). It also shows singular/plural mismatch ('a bike' vs 'a bike' vs 'bikes') and unclear pronoun reference. Corrected version splits into two clear sentences, uses 'No,' to respond negatively, and replaces 'How to write a bike' (nonsense) with 'I only rode bikes by borrowing them from my friend.' Suggestions: keep one main clause per sentence, remove stray fragments, ensure verbs and nouns match in number and meaning. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I think it's not as popular as back then in in a in a sense that I'm a gate back then because

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular now as they were back then.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and contains repetitions and nonsense phrases ('in in a in a sense that I'm a gate back then because'), showing poor tense and structure use (Grammar problem type 6 and 26). The corrected sentence uses the present simple 'don't think' for current opinion and the past simple 'were' to refer to the past comparison, matching tenses correctly. Suggestions: remove filler repetitions, use 'now' and 'back then' to contrast present and past, and ensure verbs agree with the time reference. Grammar problem type ID:6
