Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is unclear and grammatically incorrect. Start with a direct topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (age, who gave it to you, or a memory). Use correct past tense and avoid vague words like “way.” Keep it to one to three sentences and use linking words if adding details (for example, “when,” “because,” or “so”).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it from my parents when I was eight, and I used to ride it to school every day because it was faster than walking.

提案: Your reply is repetitive, disfluent and not informative. Begin with a clear opinion about popularity, then give specific reasons or examples (e.g., commuting, exercise, traffic, and bike-sharing schemes). Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “also.” Keep sentences short and avoid fillers such as “uh.”

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute to work. For example, cities have bike lanes and shared bike services, so a lot of students and office workers ride bikes daily.

× I don't have a way myself.

✓ I didn't have one myself.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Don't have' is present tense; change to 'didn't have'. Also 'a way' is unnatural in this context; 'one' or 'a bike' is clearer. Use 'myself' only if emphasizing personal possession, but 'one' is sufficient.

× Yes, make a popular my country very, very popular and uh in my home I I uh.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, and I had one at home when I was a child.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and contains repetition and unclear structure. The examiner asked about general popularity (use present simple: 'are very popular') and the student should then state personal experience in the past ('I had one at home when I was a child'). Combine into two clear clauses and remove filler sounds. This fixes tense consistency and sentence structure.

× I have my uh one time back.

✓ I had one a long time ago.

The phrase 'have ... time back' mixes present tense and unclear time expression. The question is about childhood (past), so use past tense 'had'. A natural time phrase is 'a long time ago' or 'when I was a child'. This corrects tense and provides a clearer time reference.
