Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is unclear and contains grammatical errors. Give a direct topic sentence in the past tense, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (1–3 sentences). Focus on correct tense and simple vocabulary.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I mostly walked to school because my family lived close by, so I never needed one.

提案: Your response is understandable but has pronunciation/word-choice and grammar mistakes. Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give a specific reason with a linking word (for example, because / since). Use correct comparative structure and avoid single-word answers.

例: Not really. Bicycles are not very popular in my country because most people prefer cars for convenience and longer commutes, especially in big cities.

× No I don't have a bike in book.

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

The question asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student must use past tense. 'Do not have' is present tense and 'in book' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'back then' or referring to childhood. Use past simple 'didn't have' and the time clause 'when I was a child' to match the question. Suggestion: Use past simple for past situations (I didn't have a bike), and use correct time expressions (when I was a child or back then).

× I watch high.

✓ I used to watch from a high place. OR I used to watch others ride from a high place.

'I watch high' is ungrammatical: 'watch' is present tense and 'high' is an adjective/adverb but the phrase lacks a clear object or preposition. The student likely means they used to watch bike riding from a high place or watch others. Use 'used to' to express a habitual past action and include a clear object or prepositional phrase (e.g., 'watch from a high place' or 'watch others ride'). Suggestion: Use 'used to' for habitual past actions and include objects/prepositions to clarify meaning.

× Not Leary.

✓ Not really.

'Not Leary' is a spelling/word-choice error; the correct phrase is 'Not really' to mean 'not particularly'. Also, the sentence should be completed to answer the question: 'Not really' fits as a short response. Suggestion: Pay attention to common short responses and spelling: 'really' not 'Leary'.

× The bicycle is not popular because the people prefer the car more than.

✓ Bicycles are not very popular because people prefer cars.

Multiple issues: article and number ('The bicycle' sounds like one specific bicycle; general statements use plural 'Bicycles' or 'The bicycle' with a different meaning), unnecessary definite article with 'the people', and awkward comparative phrase 'prefer the car more than' which lacks an object. Use plural nouns for general statements ('Bicycles', 'people', 'cars') and a clear comparative structure: 'prefer cars' or 'prefer cars to bicycles'. Suggestion: For general facts use plural nouns (Bicycles are...), avoid unnecessary 'the' with general nouns (people), and use 'prefer X to Y' when comparing two things.
