Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense: “Yes, I did.” Correct the verb forms: use “had” instead of “have” and “gave” instead of “gives.” Avoid repetition and unnatural phrases such as “it’s give me” and “it is the one of the best.” Add one specific detail about the bike or explain how you used it to make the answer more vivid.

例: Yes, I did. My father gave me a blue bike for my birthday when I was about eight years old. It was very special because it was one of the best presents I had ever received, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: State your opinion clearly and avoid repeating “bike” and “motorbike.” The sentence “we don’t use usually the motorbike” is grammatically incorrect and unclear; use “many people use bicycles instead of motorbikes” if that is your intended meaning. Organize the reasons with linking words, such as “because” and “also,” and provide a specific example of where people ride bikes.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who exercise regularly. Many people use them for short journeys because they are affordable and environmentally friendly. In addition, cycling is a convenient way to stay healthy, and bike lanes are becoming more common in larger cities.

× I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form had is required instead of the present-tense form have.

× it's give me, my father gives me for my birthday

✓ My father gave it to me for my birthday.

The answer describes a completed event in the past, so give and gives should be changed to the past-tense form gave. The object pronoun it refers to the bike.

× it is the one of the best birthday presents in my life

✓ It is one of the best birthday presents in my life.

The article the is unnecessary before one in the expression one of the best. The correct structure is one of the + plural noun.

× one of the best birthday presents in my life

✓ One of the best birthday presents of my life

When describing the best experiences or possessions a person has had, of my life is the natural prepositional phrase. In my life is less appropriate in this expression.

× we don't use usually the motorbike bike motorbike for transportation

✓ We don't usually use motorbikes for transportation.

The adverb usually normally comes after the auxiliary verb do and before the main verb use. Repeated words and hesitations should also be removed for a clear sentence.

× we don't use usually the motorbike bike motorbike for transportation

✓ We don't usually use motorbikes for transportation.

The student is speaking about motorbikes in general, so the plural noun motorbikes is more suitable than the singular form motorbike. The repeated words should be omitted.

× we use mostly the bike in our daily life

✓ We mostly use bikes in our daily lives.

Because we refers to more than one person and the statement describes bikes generally, bikes and daily lives are the appropriate plural forms. The adverb mostly is placed before the main verb use.
