Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: The answer does not directly respond to the question. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question (Yes/No), then add 1–2 short supporting details. Keep it natural and no more than five sentences. Use linking words if you add reasons or details (for example, because, so, and).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it as a birthday present when I was eight, and I rode it to school and around my neighborhood every day. Because I practiced a lot, I became very confident riding on busy streets.

提案: The answer gives an opinion but has grammatical errors and is vague. Begin with a clear topic sentence (Yes, they are popular), then give two specific supporting details (who uses them, why, and an example). Use correct grammar and linking words (because, for example, many).

例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country. Many children use them for play and short trips, and adults often ride bikes for exercise or commuting because they are inexpensive and convenient. For example, I often see families cycling together in parks on weekends.

× I was 8 years old.

✓ I was eight years old.

The original reply answers 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' with an age rather than addressing possession; this is a sentence structure/content error. Spell out small numbers in formal speech; more importantly, provide a sentence that directly answers the possession question (for example: 'I had a bike when I was eight years old.'). Suggestion: include the subject and verb about having the bike to match the examiner's question and keep consistent past tense.

× From my perspective, absolutely, because the bicycle and so famous for children in my country.

✓ From my perspective, absolutely, because bicycles are very popular among children in my country.

The original sentence has multiple errors: 'the bicycle and so famous' is ungrammatical. This involves article misuse ('the' is unnecessary when speaking generally), incorrect verb form, and awkward phrasing. According to the allowed problem types, the primary issue is article use and sentence structure. Corrections made: use plural 'bicycles' for general statements, use 'are' for present tense plural, replace 'so famous' with 'very popular' and use 'among' to indicate the group. Suggestion: when talking about general facts, use plural nouns without 'the' and match verb number with the noun; use 'popular among' to show who likes them.
