Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct past-tense answer, add a brief topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Mention when you had it, who it belonged to, or a short memory to make it natural and informative. Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I got it as a gift from my parents when I was seven, and I used to ride it to school every day. Because it was lightweight and bright red, I remember feeling very proud of it.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then give two specific supporting reasons linked logically (e.g., for commuting and leisure) and a short example or statistic if possible. Use plural/singular consistency and varied vocabulary (e.g., cycling, commute, recreation). Limit to 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them for daily commuting and for leisure. For example, in cities they are faster than cars during rush hour, and on weekends families often ride together in parks. As a result, cycling infrastructure like bike lanes has been expanding recently.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using present tense ('have') conflicts with the time reference. Suggestion: Use past simple for completed states in the past: 'I had a bike.'

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country because we use it for transportation and we enjoy riding the bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because we use them for transportation and we enjoy riding bikes.

The plural subject 'bikes' requires plural pronoun 'them' (subject-verb/pronoun agreement). Also 'riding the bike' is less natural when speaking generally; use the plural 'riding bikes' to match general statement. Suggestion: Match pronouns and nouns in number: 'them' for plural, and keep general nouns plural.

× It's fun to ride.

✓ It's fun to ride.

This sentence is grammatical; no article is needed. It correctly expresses a general statement about the activity. No change required.
