Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is direct and includes specific details about the bike's color, who bought it, and your age. However, avoid hesitation and repetition such as “I think it was” and “it was.” Also, use the article “an” before “orange bike” and connect the details more smoothly.

例: Yes, I did. It was an orange bike that my parents bought for me when I was about five or six years old. I remember riding it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: You give a clear general opinion and a reason, but the answer contains several grammatical errors and repetitions. Say “They are popular with a specific group of people,” “we don’t usually use bikes for transportation,” and “people mainly use them for exercise.” Avoid fillers such as “you know,” and organize the response with a topic sentence followed by a specific explanation.

例: Bikes are popular with a specific group of people, especially fitness enthusiasts. However, most people in my country do not use them for transportation because public transport and cars are more convenient. As a result, people mainly ride bikes for exercise or recreation.
