Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Correct grammar and make the response more natural and slightly more informative. Start with a clear topic sentence, use past tense consistently, and add one brief supporting detail (reason or memory). Keep it under five sentences. For example, use: “No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child” and then add a short reason with a linking word such as because or so.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn’t enough space to store one. However, I used to borrow a neighbor’s bike sometimes to ride in the park.

提案: Use present tense for general opinions and correct article/number agreement. Answer directly with a topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word like because or for example. Avoid redundancy and keep it concise.

例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars for commuting. For example, there are few bike lanes in cities, so cycling is not common for daily travel.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I'm child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The student mixes past tense ('didn't have') with present tense 'I'm'. The clause 'when I was a child' should use past tense because it refers to a past time. Use 'was' (past of 'to be') to match the past context. Suggestion: keep the whole temporal clause in past tense: 'when I was a child.'

× No, I didn't think a bikes are popular in my country is actually.

✓ No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country, actually.

There are multiple issues: 'didn't think' (past) should be 'don't think' (present) to answer a general present opinion; 'a bikes' is singular article with plural noun — remove 'a' and use 'bikes'; the clause order and extra 'is' at the end is redundant. Correct sentence: 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country, actually.' Suggestion: use present simple for current opinions, ensure article and noun agree (no 'a' before plural), and avoid extra verbs at the end.
