Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct past-tense answer, expand with one or two specific supporting details, and avoid overly short replies. Use simple linking words if adding information. Also correct verb tense and use natural phrasing.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was six, and I rode it to my friend’s house every weekend. It helped me become more confident and independent.

提案: Provide a clear opinion sentence, use correct grammar, and give specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, and) to make the answer coherent. Avoid filler words and unclear fragments.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, students often cycle to school and commuters use bikes in busy cities to avoid traffic.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use the past tense. Using present tense 'have' is incorrect for a past time reference. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' for habits or possessions in the past.

× I think by so popular in my country because people very. Umm, old phone. Riding a bike.

✓ I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people, including older people, ride bikes.

The original contains multiple problems: incorrect word order ('by so popular'), missing verbs and subjects ('people very'), unclear fragments ('old phone'), and incorrect verb forms. These are sentence structure and clarity errors. Correction uses proper subject-verb agreement and completes ideas: 'bikes are very popular' (present tense general statement) and 'many people... ride bikes' (simple present for habitual action). Suggestions: use complete clauses with a clear subject and verb, avoid unclear fragments, and choose correct word order ('bikes are popular', 'people ride bikes').
