Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then explain how often you rode it or why you stopped. “I didn’t get used to using the bike for a long time” is unclear; say “I didn’t ride it for very long” if you mean you stopped riding soon. Avoid repeating “bike” by using “it.”

例: Yes, I had a bike as a child, but I didn’t ride it for very long. I only used it around my neighborhood because I soon became more interested in other activities.

提案: Give a clear answer and complete your thought. Use “the Philippines,” not “here in Philippines,” and avoid the filler “um.” Explain what makes cycling dangerous, then add a brief contrast or example. Keep the response to no more than five sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines, especially for short trips and exercise. However, cycling can be dangerous in many areas because there aren’t enough proper bike lanes, and cyclists have to share busy roads with cars. I think more protected lanes would encourage people to ride.
