Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct, use correct tense and give a brief specific detail. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then add one or two supporting details (e.g., who gave it to you, how often you rode it, or a short memory). Keep it natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends and explore the neighborhood almost every day during summer.

提案: Give a direct opinion, then support it with a specific reason or example and use a linking word to connect ideas. Provide one concrete detail about where or why people ride bikes to make the answer more informative and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular because many people use them for leisure and short errands; for example, families often cycle in parks on weekends and students ride to university to save money and avoid traffic.

× Did you have a bike when you were a child? Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I had.

The question uses the past tense 'Did you have' referring to childhood, so the answer must also be in the past tense. Using 'have' (present tense) is inconsistent. Replace 'have' with the past tense 'had'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the question by using 'Yes, I had' or 'Yes, I did'.

× Yes, and most people ride bikes during their spare time.

✓ Yes, most people ride bikes in their spare time.

The phrase 'during their spare time' is not natural with 'ride bikes'; the usual preposition is 'in' for periods like 'spare time'. Also 'and' is unnecessary as a connector here because the question asked a yes/no and a follow-up statement can follow directly. Suggestion: say 'Yes, most people ride bikes in their spare time.' or 'Yes, and many people ride bikes in their spare time.' if you want to keep 'and'.
