Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct and use past tense consistently. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a brief specific reason and one supporting detail. Avoid incorrect grammar (use past forms) and irrelevant facts (licenses are not usually required for children). Use linking words like "because" or "so" correctly.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe. For example, we lived on a busy street, so they preferred I play in the backyard or ride scooters under supervision.

提案: Give a topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details with linking words to make your answer richer. Mention where or why they are popular, and use vocabulary relevant to transport and lifestyle.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For instance, in cities you can see lots of cyclists during rush hour, and in rural areas they are common for running errands.

× No, I don't have any bike because I don't have a license in my childhood.

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

The student used present-tense verbs 'don't have' with the time phrase 'in my childhood', which refers to the past. This is a tense error (matches 'Past tense issue' and 'Present tense issue' categories; primary issue: past tense needed). Also 'any bike' is unnatural here; use the singular 'a bike' with 'didn't have'. Replace 'in my childhood' with the standard time expression 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: use past simple for past situations (didn't have) and a natural time phrase ('when I was a child').

× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

This sentence is grammatically correct. The present simple 'are' correctly expresses a general fact about the present. No change needed.
