Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and naturalness, give a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Use past tense when talking about childhood and avoid repetition. Link sentences logically and keep within 2–3 concise sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it every weekend to visit my grandparents.

提案: Make the response more natural and specific: start with a clear topic sentence, use linking words to explain reasons, and provide a concrete example or brief detail. Correct singular/plural and collocations (e.g., 'many employees buy bikes' or 'commute to work').

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because traffic is often heavy. For example, many employees now buy bikes to commute to work, especially in large cities where cycling is faster than driving.

× Yes I do have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question asks about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using 'do have' is present tense and mismatches the time frame. Suggestion: use past simple 'did' for short answers ('Yes, I did') or 'Yes, I had' for full sentence. Note: This corresponds to Grammar Problem Type ID 6.

× My parents bought me one when I was a child.

✓ My parents bought me one when I was a child.

This sentence is already correct: past simple 'bought' matches the past-time reference 'when I was a child.' No change needed. Note: This corresponds to Grammar Problem Type ID 5.

× Yes, I do believe that bike is popular in our country due to heavy traffic.

✓ Yes, I do believe that bikes are popular in our country due to heavy traffic.

The student uses singular 'bike' after a general statement about popularity. For a general statement about all bikes use the plural 'bikes'. Also present tense 'do believe' is acceptable. Suggestion: use 'bikes are' for general facts. Note: This corresponds to Grammar Problem Type ID 6.

× So many employees are buying bike so they can go to their company.

✓ So many employees are buying bikes so they can go to their company.

The noun 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' because 'many employees' is plural and needs a plural object. Also 'go to their company' is understandable but can be improved to 'get to their workplace' or 'get to work.' Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural nouns. Note: This corresponds to Grammar Problem Type ID 1.
