Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct, use the past tense consistently, avoid repetition, and add one specific detail to enrich the answer. Limit to 2–4 sentences and use a linking word when adding detail.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me because I loved watching them cycle, so I would ride with them on weekends and learned to balance quickly.

提案: Answer directly without fillers, use correct tense and clearer vocabulary, and give a specific example or frequency to support your view. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips to work or school. For example, I see dozens of commuters cycling every morning on the main road, especially during rush hour.

× Yes, I do. When I was a child I had a bike.

✓ Yes, I did. When I was a child, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('Did you have...'), so the student's response should use past tense 'did' instead of present 'do' for agreement with the question. Also add a comma after the introductory time clause for clarity. Suggestion: Answer past simple questions with past simple verbs (Did ... ? -> I did.).

× because I really enjoyed to see how my parents rode their bikes.

✓ because I really enjoyed seeing how my parents rode their bikes.

After the verb 'enjoy', use the gerund (-ing) form, not the infinitive with 'to'. 'Enjoy' is followed by a verb-ing (enjoy seeing). Suggestion: Memorize verbs that take gerunds (enjoy, avoid, consider) and use '-ing' after them.

× So my parents bought it for me and I was really happy.

✓ My parents bought it for me, and I was really happy.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable but the leading 'So' is unnecessary and informal; removing it improves clarity and flow. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' connecting two independent clauses. Suggestion: Avoid redundant discourse markers and punctuate compound sentences correctly.

× Oh, that's really tricky question.

✓ Oh, that's a really tricky question.

The noun 'question' requires an article. Use the indefinite article 'a' before singular, countable nouns when speaking generally. Suggestion: Use 'a' or 'an' with singular countable nouns when not specific.

× From my point of view, the bikes are really popular in my country.

✓ From my point of view, bikes are really popular in my country.

When speaking about things in general, do not use the definite article 'the' before plural countable nouns. Use the bare plural 'bikes' to refer to bikes in general. Suggestion: Use 'the' for specific groups, otherwise use plural without article for general statements.

× Uh, people, uh, people took their bike to ride for their work sale for school and uh, maybe, uh, four ball.

✓ People take their bikes to ride to work, to go to school, and maybe to play football.

Multiple issues: tense consistency (general habit should be present simple 'take/take their bikes' not past 'took'), plural and article agreement ('their bike' should be 'their bikes' or 'their bike' with context — use 'their bikes'), incorrect prepositions ('to ride for their work' -> 'to ride to work'), wrong word 'sale' (likely 'school'), 'four ball' is incorrect likely 'football'. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions, match plurality with possessive pronouns (their bikes), use correct prepositions ('to work', 'to school'), and check vocabulary for intended words.
