Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add a relevant detail about the bike or how you used it. Correct the sentence structure in “I was quite a pretty bright colored bike”: the bike was brightly colored, so use “It was quite brightly colored.” You could also replace “actually” with a more specific detail to make the answer sound smoother.

例: Yes, I had a small mountain bike when I was a child. It was brightly colored, and I loved riding it around town. I still have it today, although I don’t use it very often.

提案: State your view clearly and avoid the contradictory phrasing “I don't think bikes are actually quite popular.” Reduce fillers such as “uh” and repeated words like “actually” and “in my country.” Support your answer with the clear reason you already mention: limited cycling infrastructure. Use a linking word such as “because” or “as a result” to connect your ideas.

例: No, bicycles aren’t very popular in my country. Many people prefer motorcycles because they are more convenient, especially where there are few dedicated bike lanes. As a result, cycling is less common for everyday travel.

× I was quite a pretty bright colored bike which I adored and I still have it with me today.

✓ It was quite a pretty, bright-colored bike which I adored, and I still have it with me today.

The pronoun I refers to the speaker, but the sentence describes the bike. Use it as the subject instead. The corrected sentence also uses a comma between the coordinate adjectives pretty and bright-colored.
