Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer in the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Also, use a clear topic sentence and correct the phrase “and my child” to “when I was a child.” You could add one specific detail, such as how often you rode the bike or where you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it around my neighborhood almost every day, especially during the summer.

提案: Answer the question directly and use the correct tense and vocabulary. Since you are discussing a general situation, use the present tense, and avoid switching unnecessarily to your personal school routine. Use linking words such as “because” or “for example” to explain why bikes are popular. Also, “bug” should be “bus” if you mean public transportation.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. They are an affordable and convenient way to travel, although I usually took the bus to school because my school was quite far from my home.

× Yes, I have one bike and my child.

✓ Yes, I had one when I was a child.

The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have. The phrase when I was a child clearly refers to the speaker's childhood.

× Yes, I have one bike and my child.

✓ Yes, I had one when I was a child.

My child refers to the speaker's son or daughter, not to the speaker during childhood. Use I was a child to describe your own childhood. You can also use one to avoid repeating bike.

× Absolutely yes, and when I was student I also I always take the bug to my school.

✓ Absolutely, yes. When I was a student, I also always took the bike to my school.

Use the article a before the singular countable noun student because the sentence refers to one student. Remember that singular countable nouns usually need an article or another determiner.

× Absolutely yes, and when I was student I also I always take the bug to my school.

✓ Absolutely, yes. When I was a student, I also always took the bike to my school.

The phrase when I was a student describes a past habit, so use the past-tense verb took instead of the present-tense verb take. For past routines, use the simple past.

× Absolutely yes, and when I was student I also I always take the bug to my school.

✓ Absolutely, yes. When I was a student, I also always took the bike to my school.

The subject pronoun I is repeated in I also I. Use the pronoun only once: I also always took. The word bike is used in the correction because bug does not fit the topic of the question.
