-##### 問題
-
-* **父親**：たかし、自転車の練習、がんばってる？
-* **たかし**：うん、だいぶ上手に（...）。
-
-* 乗れる<Jps colour="c1" text="ために"/>したよ
-* 乗れる<Jps colour="c1" text="ように"/>なったよ
-
-「乗れる<Jps colour="c1" text="ために"/>したよ」: This doesn’t fit because "ために" implies "in order to," but Takashi is not explaining a reason; rather, he’s describing his progress. Also, "したよ" doesn’t naturally follow "乗れるために" here.
-
-「乗れる<Jps colour="c1" text="ように"/>なったよ」: This is the correct choice, as "ようになる" means "to become able to" or "to reach the point where one can." So, 「乗れるようになった」 means "I’ve become able to ride," which fits perfectly to show that Takashi has made progress and is now able to ride the bike better.
-
----
-
-私は勉強する<Jps colour="c1" text="ために"/>、新しい机を買いました。
-

-
-「<Jps colour="c1" text="ように"/>」implies a personal wish or hope: you bought the desk *hoping to motivate yourself to study*. It’s less about necessity and more about creating a conducive environment or setting an intention.

----
-
-#### 意志動詞
-##### Volitional Verbs
-
-Volitional verbs describe actions performed with intent or will by the subject. The subject deliberately decides to do the action. These verbs are commonly used to express one's own actions or planned actions.
-
-*Examples:*
-
-* 食べる (たべる) - "to eat"
-* 行く (いく) - "to go"
-* 読む (よむ) - "to read"
-* 歌う (うたう) - "to sing"
-* 出かける (でかける) - "to go out"
-
-*Example sentence:*
-
-* 私は本を読む。- "I read a book."
-
-Here, reading is an intentional action by the subject.
-
----
-
-#### 非意志動詞
-##### Non-Volitional Verbs
-
-Non-volitional verbs describe actions or states that occur without the subject's intent. These are often natural events, spontaneous actions, or involuntary feelings. They are usually used to indicate something happening without control from the subject.
-
-*Examples:*
-
-* 降る (ふる) - "to fall" (as in rain)
-* 驚く (おどろく) - "to be surprised"
-* 眠る (ねむる) - "to sleep" (natural occurrence of sleepiness)
-* 晴れる (はれる) -"to be sunny" 
-* 分かる (わｋる) - "to understand"
-* 成功する (せいこうする) - "to succeed"
-
-*Example sentence:*
-
-* 雨が降る。- "It rains."
-* In this case, the rain falls naturally without a person’s will or intent.
-
----
-
-#### 他動詞
-##### Transitive Verbs　たどうし
-
-Transitive verbs act upon a direct object and require one to express what the action affects directly. Transitive verbs are often marked by the particle を (o), which indicates the object of the action.
-
-
-* 開ける (あける) - "to open" (something)
-* 閉める (しめる) - "to close" (something)
-* 作る (つくる) - "to make"
-
-* ドアを開ける。 - "I open the door."
-* Here, ドア is the object directly affected by the action 開ける.
-
----
-
-#### 自動詞
-##### Intransitive Verbs　じどうし
-
-Intransitive verbs do not take a direct object. The action occurs without directly impacting another entity, or the subject itself performs or experiences the action. They are often paired with particles like <Jps colour="c2" text="が"/> to indicate the subject.
-
-* 開く (あく) - "to open" (by itself)
-* 閉まる (しまる) - "to close" (by itself)
-* 増える (ふえる) - "to increase"
-
-* ドアが開く。- "The door opens."
-* In this case, 開く shows the door opening without anyone performing the action.
