Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, tense and add a brief explanation. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then give one or two supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and concise.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus, so I didn’t need one. As a result, I only started cycling in my teens when my parents bought me a second-hand bicycle.

提案: Correct grammar and coherence, use linking words and specific details. Begin with a topic sentence, then support it with reasons or examples and a brief comparison or result. Keep to 2–4 sentences maximum.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many students and workers use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient. Moreover, cycling is common in smaller towns where traffic is lighter, although in big cities people often prefer motorbikes or public transport.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student must use past tense. Using 'do/does' is for present tense; the correct negative past auxiliary is 'didn't'. Also the main verb 'have' remains base form after 'didn't'. Suggestion: use past auxiliary 'did' for questions or negatives about past events (e.g., 'I didn't' or 'No, I didn't have one').

× Bike is very popular in our country because it used to when you go to school you will ride it.

✓ Bikes are very popular in our country because when people used to go to school they would ride them.

Multiple issues: 'Bike is' should be plural 'Bikes are' to refer generally (singular/plural and subject-verb agreement). The phrase 'because it used to when you go to school you will ride it' mixes tenses and structures. Use past habitual 'used to' with an infinitive or follow with simple past/habitual modal 'would'. Also pronouns must agree in number: 'people' and 'them' or 'students' and 'them'. Tense consistency: if referring to a past habit, keep past ('used to'/'would'). If general present habit, use present simple ('when people go to school they ride them'). Suggestions: decide whether you mean past or present generality, and make subject and verbs agree (e.g., present: 'Bikes are very popular in our country because when people go to school they often ride them.'; past: 'Bikes used to be very popular because when people went to school they would ride them.').
