Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer direct, concise and consistent in tense. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. "Yes, I did") then add one or two specific supporting details about the bike (age you got it, how you used it). Use past tense for childhood. Avoid repeating statements or mixing tenses.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven and I used it to ride to friends’ houses and to the park every weekend.

提案: Give a complete, grammatical sentence and add specific supporting reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, so, especially) to make your answer coherent. Avoid unfinished phrases and pronoun inconsistency; say "even children and older people" rather than mixing forms.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and practical; for example, many children use them to go to school and many older people ride them for exercise and short trips.

× Yes, I did when I was a child. I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I did when I was a child. I had a bike.

The examiner asked about having a bike when the student was a child (past time). The first clause uses past tense correctly ('Yes, I did'), but the following sentence 'I have a bike' is present tense and conflicts with the past-time context. Change 'have' to the past form 'had' to maintain consistent past tense. Suggestion: Use the past tense ('had') when referring to possessions in the past to match the time frame.

× Bikes are really popular in our country. Even though you are kids, even though you're old

✓ Bikes are really popular in our country, whether you are a child or an elderly person.

The student attempts a contrastive idea but uses incomplete clauses and inconsistent pronouns/phrasing. The fragment 'Even though you are kids, even though you're old' is ungrammatical and lacks a main clause. Rewrite to a complete sentence that contrasts ages and uses appropriate singular/plural and noun phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'whether... or...' to present alternatives and use clear age descriptions ('a child' or 'an elderly person') for natural English.
