Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct past-tense answer, keep it concise (1–2 sentences), correct grammar, and add a brief reason with a linking word. Use specific details (who decided, age, or alternative transport).

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe for young children. Instead, I usually rode in a child seat on my father's motorcycle until I was older.

提案: Answer directly, avoid fillers (um, uh), and add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (for example, because/of reasons). Mention who prefers bikes and why, with a clear sentence structure and varied vocabulary.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many commuters use bicycles to avoid traffic and save money on fuel.

× No, I don't have a bike when I am a child because of using bike when a child is not safe.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because riding a bike as a child was not safe.

The student used present tense ('don't have', 'am') for a past situation; use past tense for both verb and time reference. Also 'using bike' is unnatural; use 'riding a bike' and include an article. Suggestion: use past simple ('didn't have', 'was') and natural collocation 'ride a bike'.

× Yes, in my country bikes are very popular.

✓ Yes, in my country, bikes are very popular.

The sentence uses present tense correctly to state a general fact, but it needs a comma after the introductory phrase for clarity. This is a punctuation/style issue rather than a tense error; keep present simple for general truths.

× Umm, they usually prefer bikes whenever they go outside.

✓ Umm, people usually prefer bikes when they go out.

The pronoun 'they' is acceptable but vague; 'people' is clearer. 'Go outside' is grammatical but 'go out' is the more natural collocation when talking about leaving home for activities. Ensure subject matches generalization.

× Umm, they think uh, using bikes is, uh, is.

✓ Umm, they think that using bikes is convenient and economical.

The original is incomplete and filled with hesitations. Complete the idea by providing adjectives or clauses that express why they think using bikes is good. Use 'think that' + clause and avoid repeated 'is'. Provide clear reasons (e.g., 'convenient and economical').
