Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then explain what you enjoyed about riding and add one specific memory. Avoid repetition and fillers such as “kind of” and “uh.” Use natural phrasing like “go for a bike ride” and “my cousins and I.”

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I loved riding it in my free time. My cousins and I often went for bike rides around our neighbourhood. It was a fun way to spend time together, especially during the weekends.

提案: Give a clear answer and support it with the weather as a reason. Avoid fillers such as “actually,” “like,” and “really” when they are repeated, and correct “wikes” to “bikes.” Use “people prefer to travel by car” rather than “go on our own cars to transport.”

例: Bikes aren’t very popular in my country, mainly because the weather is hot and humid for much of the year. Even in the evenings, cycling can feel uncomfortable. As a result, many people prefer to travel by car, especially for longer journeys.

× I used to really like to ride the bike because that's what I kind of do during my free time.

✓ I used to really like to ride the bike because that's what I kind of did during my free time.

The sentence describes a childhood routine, so the verb do should be in the past tense: did. Keep the verb tense consistent with the past-time context.

× I didn't know how to draw or like paint, but me and my cousins used to go uh, on a ride down the bike and we had so much fun.

✓ I didn't know how to draw or paint, but my cousins and I used to go for a ride on our bikes, and we had so much fun.

Me is an object pronoun, but this phrase is the subject of used to go. Use the subject pronoun I, and place it after the other subject: my cousins and I.

× I didn't know how to draw or like paint, but me and my cousins used to go uh, on a ride down the bike and we had so much fun.

✓ I didn't know how to draw or paint, but my cousins and I used to go for a ride on our bikes, and we had so much fun.

The natural expressions are go for a ride and ride on a bike. Down the bike uses an incorrect preposition and does not express the intended meaning. Use on our bikes.

× We usually go like on our own cars to transport.

✓ We usually travel in our own cars.

Use in, rather than on, when describing travel inside a car. Travel in our own cars is a natural way to express this idea.
