Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Cải thiện ngữ pháp và thì; trả lời trực tiếp với câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó bổ sung 1–2 chi tiết hỗ trợ. Tránh lặp từ và sửa lỗi thì (dùng quá khứ). Có thể nêu loại xe, ai tặng, hoặc kỷ niệm ngắn liên quan.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend.

提案: Mở rộng câu trả lời bằng cách nêu lý do cụ thể và ví dụ; dùng liên từ để làm rõ lập luận. Trả lời nên dài hơn một câu (tối đa 5 câu) và cung cấp thông tin cụ thể như nơi phổ biến, nhóm tuổi hoặc lý do (giá rẻ, tiện lợi, thân thiện môi trường).

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and university towns. Many people use them for short trips because they are cheap and easy to park, and there has also been a recent push for cycling lanes to encourage more people to ride.

× Yes, I have it.

✓ Yes, I had one.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using 'have' (present tense) is incorrect here. Also 'it' is vague; 'one' or 'a bike' is clearer. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' and a clear noun: 'I had a bike.'

× I have it when I were a child.

✓ I had one when I was a child.

There are two issues: tense and subject–verb agreement in the subordinate clause. 'When you were a child' requires past tense throughout: use 'had' not 'have'. Also 'were' should be 'was' with singular 'I'. Replace 'it' with 'one' or 'a bike' for clarity. Suggestion: use past simple 'I had a bike when I was a child.'
