Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Correct the tense and make the reply natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence using past tense, then add one specific supporting detail. Use linking words if adding details. Avoid redundancy and keep to 1–3 sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it to visit my grandparents every weekend.

提案: Make the sentence more natural and grammatically correct. State your opinion clearly, then give a specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., because, since, for example). Use fewer words to avoid awkward phrasing.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for daily commuting. For example, in smaller cities motorbikes and bicycles are common due to low costs and heavy traffic during peak hours.

× Yes, I do have a bike when I was child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student mixed present tense 'do have' with a past time reference 'when I was child'. Use simple past 'had' to match the past context, and include the article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: use 'I had' for past events and remember articles before singular nouns ("a child").

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country as a large population is having ownership of the bikes.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because a large proportion of the population owns bikes.

The phrase 'a large population is having ownership of the bikes' is awkward and uses incorrect quantifier and verb forms. 'Population' is a collective noun; use 'a large proportion of the population' or 'many people'. Replace progressive 'is having' with simple present 'owns' to describe a general fact. Also omit the definite article 'the' before 'bikes' when speaking generally. Suggestion: use 'many people own bikes' or 'a large proportion of the population owns bikes.'
