Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and complete your thought. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then give a brief reason and one specific detail. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid fillers or trailing off.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there was nowhere safe to ride. However, I learned to ride later at age twelve when we visited my grandparents in the countryside.

提案: Answer directly and give clear, grammatically correct supporting details. Use present-tense verbs for general statements, and include a specific reason or brief example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however' to make the response coherent.

例: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or buses for commuting. For example, in my city public transport is convenient and roads are busy, so cycling is uncommon and often unsafe.

× No, I did not. I did not know how to ride a bike, ************.

✓ No, I did not. I did not know how to ride a bike.

The sentence originally had extra filler '************' which is not grammatical. The use of 'did not know' is correct for past tense. Remove the nonverbal filler to make the response clear and grammatically correct. Suggestion: keep simple past 'did not know' when referring to ability in the past.

× It's not very popular in my country.

✓ They're not very popular in my country.

The student used 'It's' (it is) but the noun 'bikes' is plural, so plural reference is required. This is a subject-pronoun agreement/number issue handled as present tense usage: use 'they' to match plural. Also use contraction 'They're' or 'They are' and present simple 'are not very popular' to describe general truth.

× In my country most people just drive or took a bus to go to work to come mute.

✓ In my country most people just drive or take a bus to go to work.

The original mixes present tense 'drive' with past tense 'took' which is inconsistent; use present simple 'take' to match 'drive' when describing habitual actions. The phrase 'to come mute' is ungrammatical and unnecessary; remove it. Suggestion: use parallel verbs in lists (drive or take) and keep present simple for habitual routines.
