Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, use past tense and a clear topic sentence, add one specific supporting detail, and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences). For example, begin with “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.” Then briefly add a detail such as how you used it or a memory, linking with “and” or “so”.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it every day to ride to the park and visit my friends, so it became my favourite way to spend the afternoon.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence stating your opinion, then support it with a specific reason and a linking word. Use complete sentences and avoid hesitation. For example, say whether bikes are popular, then explain why with a concrete detail (e.g., traffic, weather, public transport).

例: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because the roads are busy and many people prefer cars or public transport. For instance, few cities have safe bike lanes, so most people avoid cycling.

× Yes, I have a bike when I child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The examiner asked about the past (Did you have...), so the student should use past tense 'had' not present 'have' (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). Also the phrase 'when I child' is missing the article 'a' and the verb 'was'; use 'when I was a child' to indicate past time. Suggestion: use past-tense verb forms and include auxiliary 'was' for age/time expressions.

× No, the bike. Not a popular bike. Uh, in my country.

✓ No, bikes are not very popular in my country.

The student's response is fragmented and ungrammatical (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). Combine fragments into a complete sentence matching the present general question 'Do you think bikes are popular...?' Use plural 'bikes' to refer generally to bicycles, the present simple 'are' for current general facts, and include an adverb 'very' or similar if intended. Suggestion: form one clear sentence: subject (bikes) + verb (are) + complement (not very popular in my country).
