Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Correct the grammar and make the response natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain why or give a short detail. Avoid repetition and use correct tense and subject-verb agreement.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked or took the bus to school.

提案: Make the answer slightly more specific and connect sentences with a linking phrase. Use a supporting detail or example to explain why bikes are popular (e.g., culture, convenience, cost). Keep it within a few sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many children own bikes because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around in towns and suburbs.

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

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

The sentence contains incorrect tense and structure. 'I were a child' is wrong because 'were' is past tense plural or subjunctive; the correct past form for first person is 'was'. Also there is an extra 'when I was' duplicated. The question asks about the past, so use simple past: 'I didn't have' (already correct) and 'when I was a child' to indicate time. Suggestion: remove the duplicated phrase and use 'was' for singular subject: 'when I was a child.'

× Yes they are. Every other child had one.

✓ Yes, they are. Every other child has one.

The examiner asks about general popularity in the present, so the response should use present tense. 'Yes, they are.' correctly uses present tense for 'bikes', but the second sentence uses past tense 'had' which contradicts the present context. Change to present simple 'has' for a habitual/general fact: 'Every other child has one.' Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent and match the time frame asked by the question.
