Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You misunderstood the examiner’s question and repeated it back instead of answering. For Part 1, give a direct, short answer (topic sentence) and one or two supporting details. Keep it natural and avoid repeating the question. Use past tense for childhood events and add a linking word if you give an extra detail.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. For example, my parents bought me a small blue bicycle when I was seven, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon.

提案: Your answer is relevant but informal and has grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, use correct tense and grammar, and expand with a specific reason using a linking word. Avoid fillers like 'uh' and contractions like '’cause' in formal speaking.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many secondary school students ride bicycles to school because they are cheap and convenient for short distances.

× Do you have a bike when you were a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The question refers to a past time frame 'when you were a child', so the past simple tense should be used. 'Do you have' is present tense and does not match the past time reference. Use 'Did you have' to form a correct past simple question. Suggestion: Use past simple auxiliary 'did' + base verb for yes/no questions about past events.

× Yes, 'cause in secondary school, uh, as a student we were usually ride bikes to school.

✓ Yes, because in secondary school, as students we usually rode bikes to school.

There are multiple issues: the sentence describes a habitual action in the past, so simple past 'rode' is required rather than 'were ride' (incorrect passive or continuous). 'We were ride' mixes auxiliary 'were' with base verb incorrectly. Also 'as a student' should agree in number with 'we' so 'as students'. Use 'because' instead of colloquial ''cause' in formal correction. Suggestion: For past habitual actions use simple past ('we rode'), ensure subject-pronoun agreement ('we' -> 'students'), and avoid mixing 'were' with base verb unless forming past continuous ('we were riding').
