Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and provide a fuller, natural response. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence (e.g. "Yes, I had a bike."), then add one or two brief supporting details (where you rode it, who taught you, or why you liked it). Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use correct verb tense.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school, and my older brother taught me how to balance on it.

提案: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence, use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement and articles), and give specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and fillers. For example, say that bikes are still common, explain who uses them and for what, and add a brief reason or contrast. Limit to 3–4 concise sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are still popular in China. Many families own one or two bikes, and people use them to commute to work or run errands. In addition, bikes are a cheap and convenient way to travel short distances, especially in crowded cities.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense. 'Have' is present tense; 'did' is the correct past auxiliary for 'have' in short answers to 'Did you have...'. Suggestion: Use past tense short answers (Yes, I did / No, I didn't) for past-tense questions.

× Why would your child?

✓ Why would my child?

The student likely meant to refer to their own child, so the correct possessive pronoun is 'my', not 'your'. 'Your' incorrectly addresses the examiner. Suggestion: Ensure the possessive pronoun matches the speaker (my for speaker, your for listener).

× maybe every family have one or two.

✓ maybe every family has one or two.

The subject 'every family' is singular, so the verb should be singular: 'has' not 'have'. Suggestion: With 'every' + singular noun, use singular verb (every family has).

× They use a bike, go to and to work and, uh, go outside, always use bike and now, oh, maybe our life.

✓ They use bikes to go to work and go outside; they always use bicycles, even now; it is part of our life.

Multiple issues: noun number and articles ('a bike' vs general plural 'bikes'/'bicycles'), word order and preposition usage ('go to and to work' is incorrect), repetition and awkward phrasing. The student should use plural when speaking generally ('they use bikes') and a correct infinitive phrase 'to go to work'. Also use clear clauses and articles ('bicycles'). Suggestion: When describing general habits, use plural nouns (bikes/bicycles) and infinitive 'to' for purpose (to go to work). Break long ideas into clear clauses.
