Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be clear, grammatically correct, and relevant. Start with a direct topic sentence (past tense), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix tense and word order mistakes, and avoid unrelated phrases (e.g., “when I watch church” is unclear).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was a child, and I rode it to visit friends in my neighborhood. In addition, I often used it to go to the local church on Sundays, which helped me become confident riding in traffic.

提案: Give a full sentence answering the question and then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (because, for example, moreover). Avoid one-word replies. Expand to two or three sentences to show vocabulary and coherence.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, there are bike lanes in several cities and many students ride to school, so cycling has become a common and practical choice.

× Yes, I have a.

✓ Yes, I had one.

The question asked about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should use past tense. 'I have a.' is present tense and incomplete; use 'I had one.' to match past context and provide a complete sentence. Suggestion: Use past tense verbs when describing past events and include the correct object word (one) to avoid incomplete sentences.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

This sentence uses present tense ('have') but the question refers to the past. Change to the past tense 'had' to match the time reference. Suggestion: When responding to questions framed in the past (Did you...?/When you were...), use past simple (had, went, saw).

× I had a bike when I watch church.

✓ I had a bike when I went to church.

The clause refers to a past habitual action, so both verbs must be in the past tense. 'Watch' is present; the correct past form is 'went' for 'go'. Also 'watch church' is unnatural in English; the common expression is 'go to church.' Suggestion: Use 'went to church' for past habitual attendance and ensure verbs match past tense in time clauses.

× Yes, I think.

✓ Yes, I think so.

The response 'Yes, I think.' is grammatically incomplete and sounds abrupt. Adding 'so' completes the idea ('I think so' meaning 'I think they are'). The question is general and present tense, so 'I think so' is appropriate. Suggestion: Use 'I think so' to agree or express an opinion in short answers; ensure completeness of the response.
