Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is grammatically correct but too short and lacks detail. To improve, give a brief topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., what kind of bike it was, who gave it to you, or a short memory). Use a linking word if you add an extra detail to keep coherence.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought me when I was six, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon.

提案: The answer is unclear and has several grammatical and vocabulary errors. To improve: (1) State your opinion clearly (e.g., Yes or No). (2) Give two specific reasons or examples to support it, using linking words (because, therefore, and, for example). (3) Use correct vocabulary and sentence structure (e.g., 'popular', 'affordable', 'more common than cars'). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because they are affordable and easy to buy. For example, many people use bikes for short trips to work or school, and you can find good quality bicycles in local markets at low prices.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked a past simple yes/no question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' In English, short affirmative answers to 'did' questions use 'Yes, I did' rather than repeating the main verb in past tense ('I had'). Use the auxiliary 'did' for short responses to past simple questions. Suggestion: Answer past simple yes/no questions with 'Yes/No, I did/didn't.'

× Yes, I hardly believe that bicycle is the most popular vehicles in our country because bikes basically we can buy.

✓ No, I hardly believe that bicycles are the most popular vehicles in our country, because bikes are basically affordable and easy to buy.

Multiple present-tense and agreement errors: 'hardly believe' is used incorrectly for expressing doubt; 'bicycle' (singular) must agree with plural 'vehicles' so use 'bicycles'; subject-verb agreement requires 'bicycles are'; the clause 'because bikes basically we can buy' is ungrammatical and missing proper verb order and article; also 'in a reasonable place price better than the' is incomplete. I replaced with 'affordable and easy to buy' to convey intended meaning. Suggestions: Use 'I hardly believe' to express doubt about a general fact but more natural is 'I don't really believe' or 'I doubt that'. Ensure plural nouns match plural verbs (bicycles are). Put subject before verb and use adjectives like 'affordable' to describe cost ('are affordable').

× Actually we can buy bikes in a reasonable place price better than the.

✓ Actually, we can buy bikes at reasonable prices compared to other places.

Original phrase misuses prepositions and word order: 'in a reasonable place price better than the' is ungrammatical. Use 'at reasonable prices' to talk about cost and 'compared to' or 'compared with' to indicate comparison. Also add 'places' or 'other places' if comparing locations. Suggestion: Use 'at reasonable prices' for cost and 'compared to' when making comparisons. Ensure sentence is complete and specifies what is being compared.
