Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, accuracy and clarity. Use correct past tense and concise phrasing: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (where/why/how you used it). Use linking words only if adding details. Keep to no more than 4–5 short sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight. I rode it to school and around my neighborhood almost every day, so it helped me learn balance and independence.

提案: Make the opinion clearer and provide specific reasons or examples. Use correct comparative or descriptive language and a linking word to expand briefly. Keep answers natural and concise.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you can see dedicated bike lanes and many students riding to school.

× Yes, I have it right when I were a child.

✓ Yes, I had one when I was a child.

The student used present tense 'have' and incorrect subject-verb agreement 'were' with singular subject 'I' while referring to a past situation. This fits 'Present tense issue' and also 'Past tense issue' but per instructions only correct types listed: change to simple past 'had' and 'was' to match past time reference. Suggestion: use past simple for completed past events (I had, I was). Avoid mixing present verbs with past time expressions.

× Yes, I think bikes are more popular in our country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The sentence uses 'are more popular' which implies a comparison without an explicit object to compare to; the simplest, grammatically correct reply is 'bikes are popular'. This is a present tense usage issue: keep the simple present 'are' with correct complement. Suggestion: when stating a general fact, use simple present and avoid unnecessary comparative forms unless comparing to something (e.g., 'more popular than cars').
