Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then give one or two clear details. Correct the grammar in “my parents bought me” and use the correct phrase “learn to ride.” Avoid restarting sentences and finish your description instead of trailing off.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was five. My parents bought me a shiny pink tricycle so I could learn to ride. I remember being very excited about it.

提案: Give a clear answer using the present tense, then support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid repeating phrases and correct the subject-verb agreement; your response currently ends before completing the idea.

例: Yes, bikes are popular in Taiwan, especially among children. Many kids have a bike because it is a convenient way to play and get around their neighborhoods. Some families also ride together on weekends.

× I had a bike when I was five years old, which is uh, which was my parents bought me so that I can learn to buy.

✓ I had a bike when I was five years old. It was a shiny pink bike that my parents bought me so that I could learn to ride.

The phrase 'which was my parents bought me' incorrectly combines two clause structures. Use 'that my parents bought me' to introduce the relative clause. 'Learn to ride' is the natural expression when talking about learning to use a bike.

× so that I can learn to buy

✓ so that I could learn to ride

The sentence describes a purpose in the past, so 'could' is more appropriate than 'can' to match the past context. Use 'ride' rather than 'buy' to express learning how to use a bike.

× it had three wheels, which is uh

✓ It had three wheels.

The bike is being described in a past-time context, so use the past-tense verb 'had' rather than the present-tense verb 'is.' The trailing 'which is' does not complete a clause and can be omitted.

× Yes, I would say most of the children in Taiwan had a bike when they're they were MMM, in their childhood because it is quite popular when well, I would say when everybody grew up and they would have the.

✓ Yes, I would say that most children in Taiwan have a bike during childhood because bikes are quite popular. When people were growing up, they would often have one.

The answer discusses a general situation, so use the present tense 'have' and 'are' for the general statements. In the final clause, 'were growing up' matches the past-time meaning, and 'they would often have one' completes the thought. Keep the tense consistent with the time being described.
