Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is grammatically correct and directly answers the question. However, it is very brief and does not provide any supporting detail. Add a short reason or a relevant comparison to make your response more developed, while keeping it to two or three sentences.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride on the busy roads in my neighborhood, so I usually walked or took the bus instead.

提案: You answer the question clearly and include reasons, but some expressions are unnatural. Say “exercise by riding their bikes” instead of “do exercises with their bikes,” and use “on the road” rather than “in the road.” Also, avoid the inaccurate generalization that bikes are a mode of transportation for most people; say that they are a common or convenient form of transportation for many people. Use linking words such as “Moreover” or “For example” to improve coherence.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them for exercise, while others use them as a convenient and affordable form of transportation. Moreover, cycling is especially common among students and people who live in areas with heavy traffic.

× It is also a mode of transportation for most people, and I can see a lot of bikes in the road.

✓ It is also a mode of transportation for most people, and I can see a lot of bikes on the road.

Use on the road when referring to vehicles or people traveling along the surface of a road. In the road usually suggests being physically inside or surrounded by the road, so on the road is the appropriate prepositional phrase here.
