Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. "Yes, I did."), avoid repetition, and use correct verb forms and noun phrases. Add one or two specific supporting details linked with a simple connector. Keep answers to no more than five sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven and spent many afternoons cycling around our neighborhood. For example, I often rode with my friends to the small park nearby, which helped me become confident and fit.

提案: Give a full, grammatically correct sentence and expand with a specific reason or example using a linking word. Use plural or correct article for the country and avoid short, vague answers.

例: Yes, they are, especially in the Philippines, because many people use bicycles for short trips and exercise. For instance, in my city there are bike lanes and weekend cycling groups, so cycling is becoming more common.

× I certainly have.

✓ I certainly did.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Have' is present; 'did' is the correct past auxiliary for short answers to 'Did you...?' Use past simple to match the time frame.

× When I was about 7 years old, I used to ride the bike around our neighborhood and I stroll and cycling around our neighborhood.

✓ When I was about seven years old, I used to ride my bike around our neighborhood and I would stroll and cycle there.

Multiple issues: inconsistent verb forms and incorrect verb choices for past context. 'Used to ride' is correct for a habitual past action; use 'my bike' not 'the bike' (article error/possessive). 'I stroll and cycling' mixes present tense and -ing form incorrectly. For past habitual actions, use 'would stroll' or 'I used to stroll' and the base form 'cycle' (not 'cycling') after 'and'. Also spell out numbers in formal answers (optional). Suggested correction uses consistent past habitual constructions and correct verb forms.

× Yes, it is, especially in Philippines.

✓ Yes, they are, especially in the Philippines.

Agreement and article use errors: 'bikes' (plural) require 'they are' not 'it is'. Also country names that include an article require 'the' before 'Philippines'. Use plural verb 'are' to match plural subject 'bikes'. The corrected sentence matches subject-verb number and uses the definite article with the country name.
