Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer more natural and complete by using a full sentence, adding a brief reason or context, and keeping it within 1–3 sentences. Use linking words if you add details. For example, say whether you wanted one or used something else instead.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked or took the bus to school because my family lived close by and we couldn't afford one.

提案: Respond with a clear topic sentence and follow with specific reasons or examples, using linking words to connect ideas. Correct grammar and word order (e.g., “I don't think bikes are popular”) and provide 1–3 supporting details (where, with whom, or why).

例: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, most people prefer cars or motorbikes because the roads are busy and there are few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling is not very common.

× No, I didn't have.

✓ No, I didn't have one.

The response is missing the object 'one' which refers to 'a bike' from the question. Although the auxiliary 'didn't' already marks past tense correctly, omitting the object makes the sentence sound incomplete. Add 'one' (a pronoun standing for 'a bike') to complete the sentence. Suggestion: Use 'No, I didn't have one.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike.' to provide a complete answer.

× I don't think so is popular in my country.

✓ I don't think bikes are popular in my country.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and a misplaced 'so', causing a sentence structure error. The question asked about 'bikes', so the student should explicitly mention the subject and use the correct clause order: 'I don't think' + that-clause (omitted 'that') or 'I don't think' + subject + verb. Suggestion: Say 'I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'I don't think they are popular in my country.'
