Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with verb tense and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, use past tense consistently (e.g., "I had a bike"), and add one or two specific supporting details linked with a connector (e.g., "when I was seven" or "because"). Keep it concise (no more than 4–5 short sentences).

例: I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven, and I rode it to school every day. Because the roads near my house were quiet, I practised tricks with my friends on weekends.

提案: Answer directly and avoid mistakes or unclear words. Use correct vocabulary ("bikes" not "bags") and give specific reasons connected with linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Keep sentences short and logical, and add one concrete example of who uses bikes and why.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient. For example, many people in rural areas use bicycles to travel to the market or school. Also, some people ride bikes for exercise and short commutes in the city.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about possession in the past (when you were a child), so the response must use past tense. 'Have' is present tense; use 'had' to match the time reference. Suggestion: use past simple for completed past possession (I had a bike when I was a child).

× When I was a child, I have it.

✓ When I was a child, I had it.

Same issue: 'When I was a child' sets a past time frame, so the verb should be past tense. 'Have' is present; replace with 'had'. Also, 'it' is unnecessary if context is clear, so 'I had one' or 'I had a bike' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'I had a bike' or 'I had one.'

× I was seven years old.

✓ I was seven years old.

This sentence is already correct: it correctly uses past tense 'was' to describe age in the past. No change needed.

× Yes, absolutely. I think bags are popular in my country because like it's so convenient and most people use it in the village to.

✓ Yes, absolutely. I think bikes are popular in my country because they are so convenient and most people in the villages use them.

Multiple issues: the student used 'bags' instead of 'bikes' (wrong noun), and mixed singular pronouns with a plural subject ('most people use it' should be 'use them'). Also 'it's' (it is) refers to a singular; for general plural reference use 'they are' or 'they're'. 'In the village to' is ungrammatical: correct forms are 'in villages' or 'in the village too.' Suggestions: ensure noun matches topic (bike), keep subject-pronoun number agreement (people -> them), and use 'too' not 'to' for 'also.'

× To do a sport.

✓ to take part in sports.

This fragment is incomplete and unnatural. 'To do a sport' is literal and awkward; use a full phrase that fits context, such as 'to take part in sports' or 'for exercise.' Also attach it to the previous sentence: '...use them in the villages to take part in sports.' Suggestion: use complete clauses and common collocations like 'play sports' or 'do sports.'
