Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly by using the past tense. The phrase “I'm not in child” is incorrect and unclear; say “When I was a child” or “As a child.” Also, replace “I could turn 18” with “I’m 18” or “I turned 18,” and use “still have it” instead of “still got it” for a more accurate response. Add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about ten, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends. I still have that bike, although I rarely use it now.

提案: Your answer is relevant and includes a clear reason, but avoid using both “like” and “pretty,” as this sounds hesitant and redundant. Replace “mainly the adventure bikes” with “especially adventure bikes,” and avoid repeating “in my country.” Add a specific example of where people ride them or explain why mountain roads make these bikes popular.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially adventure bikes. Since much of the country is mountainous, many people enjoy riding on winding roads and exploring rural areas. In fact, motorcycle trips are a popular weekend activity among young adults.

× I'm not in child but I have a bike right now.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I have one right now.

The question asks about a past situation, so use the past tense. The phrase in child is also incorrect; the natural expression is when I was a child. Use didn't have to describe not owning a bike in the past.

× I could turn 18 and I still got it.

✓ I turned 18, and I still have it.

Could expresses possibility or ability, but the student is describing a definite past event. Use turned to state that the event really happened.

× I could turn 18 and I still got it.

✓ I turned 18, and I still have it.

Got is a past-tense form, but the student means that they continue to own the bike now. Use the present-tense verb have after still to describe a current situation.
