Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be careful with tense and expand slightly. Use a past tense topic sentence and add one or two supporting details (max 5 sentences). Include linking words if you add details. Be natural and specific (e.g., what kind of bike, who gave it to you, how you used it).

例: Yes, I did — I had a red BMX bike when I was about eight. It was a hand-me-down from my older cousin, and I used to ride it to school and around the neighborhood every day. Because the area was flat and quiet, I became quite confident riding on roads.

提案: Make your answer more concise and natural, correct grammar (use present simple), and give a specific reason or example. Use a linking word to connect your opinion and justification. Avoid vague phrases like "most of the time"; give a clearer frequency or context.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short daily journeys. For example, commuters often cycle to work or students ride to school, especially in cities where traffic is heavy and cycling lanes are available.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner's question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' uses past simple ('Did'), so the appropriate short answer uses past simple too. 'Yes, I have' is present perfect and mismatches the past context. Use 'Yes, I did' or 'Yes, I had' for correct past tense agreement. Suggestion: Answer past simple questions with past simple short responses (e.g., 'Yes, I did' or 'Yes, I had').

× Yes, I'm pretty sure that bikes are popular here in our country because most of the time people here will use it as a transportation.

✓ Yes, I'm pretty sure that bikes are popular in our country because most of the time people here use them as a means of transportation.

Multiple issues: 'in our country' is preferable to 'here in our country' but both acceptable; main grammar problems are incorrect pronoun and verb form. 'People... will use it' incorrectly uses singular 'it' to refer to plural 'bikes' and mixes future 'will' with general habitual meaning. For general habits, use present simple ('use'). Also use the plural pronoun 'them' to match 'bikes', and 'a means of transportation' (or 'transportation') instead of 'a transportation'. Suggestions: Use present simple for habitual actions ('people use'), match pronouns with their antecedents ('them' for 'bikes'), and say 'a means of transportation' or simply 'transportation'.}]});}
