Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a clear past-tense topic sentence, add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words, and avoid present-tense verbs for past events. Keep it within 3–4 sentences. Mention when you got the bike, what it looked like or how you used it, and a brief feeling or result to make it natural.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and it was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, which helped me learn to ride safely. Because I practiced every day, I soon became confident cycling around my neighborhood.

提案: Answer directly, then expand with specific reasons and linking words to show coherence. Use present tense for general facts and include examples or comparisons (e.g., urban vs rural use), and aim for 2–3 sentences in total.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bikes for short commutes because they are cheaper and faster than cars in heavy traffic.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the past simple. The student's reply should use the past tense to match the time frame. Using 'do' (present tense) is incorrect here. Correct response 'Yes, I did' uses past simple auxiliary 'did' to agree with the past-time question. Suggestion: respond with past-tense forms when the question refers to past time (e.g., 'Yes, I did' or 'Yes, I had a bike').

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I do.

The question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' is in the present simple and asks about a current opinion. The student's reply 'Yes, I do' is grammatically correct for this present-tense question. No correction is needed. Suggestion: you can also expand to 'Yes, I do think bikes are popular' for clarity.
