Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise, grammatically correct, and use a clear topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details. Correct verb tenses and agreement (use past tense: 'I had', 'my friends used'). Avoid repetition (don’t repeat 'because' twice). Add a brief specific detail (e.g., what kind of bike or how you learned) and use a linking word to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mother bought it so I could learn to ride, and I practiced with my friends in the neighborhood every weekend.

提案: Start with a clear direct answer, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'however', 'for example'). Use correct noun/verb agreement ('bikes are', 'roads are'). Provide a brief example or comparison to make your point stronger (mention a city or typical road conditions).

例: I don't think bikes are very popular nationwide. Although some people use them in cities, most roads in the Philippines are busy and lack dedicated bicycle lanes, so many people prefer motorbikes or cars.

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child because my mom wanted me to learn how to bike because it is a basic human skill and all of my friends uses it.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my mom wanted me to learn how to ride a bike since it is a basic life skill and all of my friends used one.

Multiple tense and word-choice issues: 'have' should be past tense 'had' to match 'when I was a child' (present tense issue, ID 6). 'How to bike' is awkward; use 'how to ride a bike' (word choice). 'Basic human skill' is unnatural; 'basic life skill' is clearer. 'All of my friends uses it' has subject-verb agreement and pronoun clarity problems: 'friends' (plural) requires 'used' (past tense) or 'used to have one'; here 'used one' fits. Suggestion: keep past tense consistently and choose natural collocations like 'ride a bike' and 'life skill.'

× It depends where you live because I live here in my country in the Philippines.

✓ It depends on where you live because I live here in the Philippines.

Missing preposition 'on' after 'depends' is a preposition error (ID 11) but the main issue flagged here is unnecessary repetition 'my country in the Philippines' and slight wording awkwardness. Correct: 'depends on where you live' uses correct verb pattern; 'I live here in the Philippines' is concise. Suggestion: use 'depends on' and avoid redundant phrases.

× Bike is not necessarily popular because our roads is not really made for bicycles unlike other countries who have a bicycle lane.

✓ Bikes are not necessarily popular because our roads are not really made for bicycles, unlike in other countries that have bicycle lanes.

'Bike' should be plural 'Bikes' to talk generally (singular/plural issue, ID 1). 'Our roads is' should be 'our roads are' (subject-verb agreement, ID 27). 'Other countries who' should be 'other countries that' or 'which' for places (incorrect use of pronoun, ID 12). 'A bicycle lane' should be plural or 'bicycle lanes' for generality. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and match verb number to the subject; use 'that' for countries and plural 'lanes' when speaking generally.

× I think it's not really popular.

✓ I don't think it's very popular.

The original 'I think it's not really popular' is understandable but awkward; prefer negative contraction with main verb 'I don't think it's very popular' to express opinion more naturally (present tense issue, ID 6). Suggestion: use 'I don't think' + clause for opinions and 'very' instead of 'really' for a neutral register.
