Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar, be natural and give a short supporting detail. Use past tense for childhood, and include one or two specific details (when/why/how often). Keep it within 1–3 sentences and avoid redundancy.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven, and I rode it to visit my friends and practice in the park almost every afternoon.

提案: Make the sentence clearer and grammatically correct. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add a specific reason with a linking word (because, since) and an example. Use accurate vocabulary (cycling, exercise) and concise structure (max 3–4 sentences).

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use cycling for exercise and short trips. For example, you can see groups of commuters and fitness cyclists on paths and in parks every morning.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use the past tense. 'I have' is present perfect and does not match the past timeframe. Use 'I did' (simple past) to indicate possession in the past. Suggestion: use simple past verbs to describe past states or possessions (e.g., 'I had a bike').

× Yes, I think so because many people like cycle thing about to exercise every day.

✓ Yes, I think so because many people like cycling as a way to exercise every day.

The original sentence contains several problems that map to listed types: 'cycle thing about to' is ungrammatical and 'cycle' should be the gerund 'cycling' when used as a noun; 'thing about to' is incorrect word order and unnecessary. The corrected sentence uses the gerund 'cycling' to express the activity and the phrase 'as a way to exercise' to explain purpose. Suggestion: use gerunds for activities (cycling, running), avoid redundant phrases like 'thing about to', and keep clear purpose expressions (as a way to / to exercise).
