Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Câu trả lời có ý trực tiếp nhưng mắc lỗi ngữ pháp và dùng từ: cần nói “when I was ten years old”, “I usually rode my bicycle” thay vì “I usually bicycle”. Ngoài ra, câu trả lời có thể tự nhiên hơn nếu thêm một chi tiết ngắn, chẳng hạn chiếc xe hoặc cảm nhận của bạn. Hãy dùng thì quá khứ đơn để kể về thói quen trong quá khứ.

例: Yes, I did. When I was ten years old, I usually rode my bicycle to school. It was convenient, and I really enjoyed cycling in the morning.

提案: Câu trả lời đưa ra lý do phù hợp nhưng cần sửa cấu trúc và chia động từ: “people under the age of 15 cannot ride motorbikes” và “people usually use bicycles”. Không nên dùng “everybody” vì quá tuyệt đối; hãy dùng “many young people” hoặc “a lot of teenagers”. Ngoài ra, “use bicycles to get around” tự nhiên hơn “use bicycle to move”.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. One reason is that people under the age of 15 cannot ride motorbikes, so many teenagers use bicycles to get around. They are also affordable and convenient for short distances.

× Yes, when I ten years old I usually bicycle to school.

✓ Yes, when I was ten years old, I usually bicycled to school.

The question asks about a past period, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Use was after I and bicycled for the past form of bicycle. A comma is also used after the introductory when-clause.

× Yes, when I ten years old I usually bicycle to school.

✓ Yes, when I was ten years old, I usually bicycled to school.

The clause when I ten years old is missing the verb was. A complete clause needs a subject and a verb: I was ten years old.

× Yes, because under 15 years old cannot use motorbike, so everybody usually use bicycle to move.

✓ Yes, because people under 15 years old cannot use a motorbike, so everybody usually uses a bicycle to get around.

Under 15 years old cannot function as the subject by itself in this sentence. Add people to make the subject clear. The sentence structure is also more natural when the reason and result are expressed with complete clauses.

× Yes, because under 15 years old cannot use motorbike, so everybody usually use bicycle to move.

✓ Yes, because people under 15 years old cannot use a motorbike, so everybody usually uses a bicycle to get around.

Singular countable nouns such as motorbike and bicycle need an article. Use a motorbike and a bicycle when referring to one vehicle in a general example.

× Yes, because under 15 years old cannot use motorbike, so everybody usually use bicycle to move.

✓ Yes, because people under 15 years old cannot use a motorbike, so everybody usually uses a bicycle to get around.

Everybody is grammatically singular, so the present-tense verb must take the third-person singular form uses, not use.
