Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant but has some grammar mistakes and slightly awkward phrasing. Improve verb tenses and naturalness: use past simple consistently (e.g., “I used it”), avoid unnecessary words, and keep sentences concise. Add one specific detail to enrich the response (where you rode, a favorite memory). Use a linking word if adding a second sentence (e.g., “and”, “so”, “which”).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it almost every day with my cousins, and we often rode to the park nearby to play until sunset.

提案: Your response is relevant but contains a slip (“bags” instead of “bikes”), repetition (“they they”), and mixed tenses. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct simple grammar errors and use present simple for general facts (e.g., “are popular”, “I often see”).

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, I often see people in my neighborhood cycling to work or school, and they usually look relaxed and happy.

× I always use it with my cousins and we tend to play outside every day.

✓ I always used it with my cousins and we used to play outside every day.

The question asks about a past situation (when you were a child), so present tense 'use' and 'tend' are incorrect. Use the past tense 'used' and the phrase 'used to' to indicate habitual actions in the past. Suggestion: match verb tenses to the time frame (childhood) by using past simple or 'used to' for repeated past actions.

× I think bags are popular in my country.

✓ I think bikes are popular in my country.

This sentence uses the wrong noun 'bags' which is likely a word choice error, causing a sentence that does not answer the question about bikes. Replace with 'bikes' to correctly respond to the examiner's question. Suggestion: check lexical accuracy to ensure the noun matches the topic.

× I always see people in my neighborhood riding a bike.

✓ I often see people in my neighborhood riding bikes.

The examiner is asking generally about current popularity; 'always see' is awkward in this context—'often see' is more natural for habitual present. Also 'a bike' should be plural 'bikes' when referring to people generally. Suggestion: use 'often' for frequency and pluralize the noun when speaking about people in general.

× They they seemed happy.

✓ They seem happy.

The repeated word 'they' is a typographical error. 'Seemed' is past tense but the speaker is describing an observation that is generally true in the present; use present tense 'seem'. If you meant to describe a past observation, keep 'seemed' but remove the duplicate 'they'. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and match tense to intended time frame.
