Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct past tense errors and avoid repetition. For example, say when you got the bike, how often you rode it, and a brief reason or memory to enrich your answer.

例: Yes, I did. I had a bicycle from the age of six and I rode it every day to visit my friends in the neighborhood. Because it was my main way of getting around, I learned to ride well and often spent afternoons exploring nearby parks.

提案: Give a brief direct answer, then add specific reasons or examples linked with connectors (e.g., because, however, for example). Avoid one-word responses; expand with facts or comparisons to make your opinion convincing.

例: Not really. I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars for convenience and there are few safe bike lanes in cities. For example, my friends usually drive to work rather than cycle, so cycling remains uncommon.

× Yes I did. I always had. I always have a bike when I was a child and umm use it every day.

✓ Yes, I did. I always had a bike when I was a child and used it every day.

This reply mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. The context is past (when you were a child), so verbs should be in the past tense. Change 'I always have a bike when I was a child' to 'I always had a bike when I was a child' and 'use it every day' to 'used it every day'. Also add a comma after 'Yes' and remove the redundant short sentence 'I always had.' for clarity.

× No, I don't think so. It's not really popular.

✓ No, I don't think so. Bikes aren't really popular.

The original reply uses 'It' which is unclear; the question asked about 'bikes' plural, so use a plural subject. Also 'It's not really popular' incorrectly uses singular and the definite article idea; better to say 'Bikes aren't really popular' to match the plural noun and make the sentence clear and natural in context.
