Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Use a clear noun phrase, such as “a blue bike,” and add one relevant detail about how you used it.

例: Yes, I had a blue bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Start with a complete sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are very popular.” Avoid saying that everybody needs one to go everywhere; instead, give a specific reason. Use linking words and correct expressions such as “they don’t need fuel” and “they’re inexpensive to run.”

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re an inexpensive way to get around. For example, many people use them for short trips to work or to local shops, and they don’t need fuel.

× Yes, I have a bike blue bike.

✓ Yes, I had a blue bike.

The examiner asks about the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use had instead of have. The answer also needs only one mention of bike.

× Yes, I have a bike blue bike.

✓ Yes, I had a blue bike.

In English, an adjective normally comes before the noun it describes. Say a blue bike, not bike blue bike. Avoid repeating the noun.

× Yes are really popular because everybody needs a bike to go everywhere, need no need to fuel very cheap.

✓ Yes, they are really popular because everybody needs a bike to go everywhere. They do not need fuel, and they are very cheap.

The first clause needs a subject before are; use they to refer to bikes. The ending contains incomplete and unclear clauses. Use complete clauses with a subject and verb, such as they do not need fuel and they are very cheap.

× Yes are really popular because everybody needs a bike to go everywhere, need no need to fuel very cheap.

✓ Yes, they are really popular because everybody needs a bike to go everywhere. They do not need fuel, and they are very cheap.

The phrase very cheap has no verb. Add are to form the complete clause they are very cheap. Also, use do not need fuel to express that bikes do not require fuel.
