Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be sure to answer with correct tense and add a brief supporting detail. Use a clear topic sentence in past tense, then one short supporting detail to make the answer natural and informative. Avoid single-word or very short replies.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight, and I used to ride it to a nearby park every afternoon with my friends.

提案: This is a good response: it directly answers the question and gives reasons. Improve by adding a linking word and one specific example or comparison to make it more vivid and concise (max 5 sentences). Check minor grammar (include article before “convenient way”).

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around. For example, many commuters use e-bikes to avoid traffic jams in large cities, and cycling is also encouraged by local bike lanes.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the past simple. The student replied with 'Yes, I have,' which is present perfect and mismatches tense. Use past simple 'did' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I did' or 'Yes, I had a bike' to keep past tense consistency.

× Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient way to get around, especially in crowded cities.

✓ Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around, especially in crowded cities.

The noun phrase 'affordable and convenient way' needs an article before 'affordable' because 'way' is a singular countable noun. Use 'an' to make 'an affordable and convenient way'. Suggestion: include the appropriate article ('a' or 'an') before singular countable nouns; in this case 'an' is correct because 'affordable' begins with a vowel sound.
