Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer grammatically correct, direct, and add a brief reason or detail. Use a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then one supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it under five sentences. For example, correct tense and structure: “No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.” Then add a reason: “because my family couldn’t afford one” or “because I preferred walking” and a short consequence if relevant.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. As a result, I usually walked to school or took the bus with my friends.

提案: Give a direct opinion and immediately support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., because, for example, therefore). Avoid one-word answers. Keep it concise and natural (1–3 sentences).

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, in my city there are special bike lanes and many students ride to school.

× No, I didn't have to buy when I was child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The original sentence misuses 'have to buy' and omits the article 'a' before 'child'. The question asked whether the student owned a bike as a child, so the correct response is to state possession in the past simple: 'I didn't have a bike.' Use 'a child' with the indefinite article. Also, 'have to buy' implies obligation rather than possession, so replace it with 'have' for possession. Suggestion: say 'I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× I think so.

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

The short reply 'I think so' is not ungrammatical but lacks clarity in this context. To match the examiner's question and provide a full answer, expand it to a complete sentence: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' This provides clear subject, verb, and object and repeats the topic for coherence.
