Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Pronunciation and grammar need correction, and you should give a clear, direct answer with a brief supporting detail. Begin with a correct tense (past) and a concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using a linking word. Avoid long or unclear sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle with training wheels when I was about six, and I rode it to my friend’s house every weekend.

提案: Your answer is too short and lacks supporting detail. Give a direct opinion and then explain why with one or two specific reasons, using linking words to connect ideas. Mention who uses bikes or where they are popular for more substance.

例: Yes, they are. Many people use bicycles for short trips in cities because they are cheap and convenient, and recently more people have started cycling for exercise as well.

× I have a buy when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

This sentence contains a word choice error and a past tense consistency error. The student used 'have' (present) with 'when I was a child' (past) and wrote 'buy' instead of the noun 'bike'. Correct to past tense 'had' to match the time frame, and use the noun 'bike' rather than the verb 'buy'. Suggestion: use past tense verbs for past time expressions (e.g., 'had') and check for correct word forms (noun vs verb).

× Yes, they are.

✓ Yes, they are.

This response correctly answers the question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' The pronoun 'they' correctly refers to 'bikes' (plural) and the verb 'are' matches plural subject in present tense. No correction needed.
