Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Begin with a past-tense, direct topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Also correct grammar (use past tense and correct verb forms). Keep to under five sentences. For example, say you had a bike, describe it briefly, and mention how often you used it or a memory.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, and I used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house. Because I practiced a lot, I learned to ride without the training wheels by the time I was six.

提案: Start with a clear opinion and expand with specific reasons and linking words. Use correct grammar and plural forms, and provide one concrete example or comparison to support your view. Keep answers concise and natural (max 5 sentences).

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many children and adults use them for short trips. For instance, in my neighborhood most families own at least one bike, and schools often have bike racks for students. Therefore, bikes are a common and affordable way to travel locally.

× Yes, I do have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the simple past tense, so the answer should also use the past tense. 'I do have' is present tense and mismatches the time reference. Use 'I did' or 'Yes, I had' to match past time. Suggestion: answer past questions with past tense verbs (e.g., 'Yes, I had' or 'Yes, I did').

× Yes, because a lot of kids have bicycle.

✓ Yes, because a lot of kids have bicycles.

The noun 'bicycle' should be plural when referring to many items. 'A lot of' indicates a plural noun, so use the plural form 'bicycles'. Also 'have bicycles' is natural for possession. Suggestion: use plural nouns after quantifiers like 'a lot of' (e.g., 'a lot of books', 'many cars').
