Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct past-tense answer that matches the question, add one or two brief supporting details and use linking words to make it coherent. Mention why you didn't have one or what you used instead to add content and specificity.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I used to walk to school or take the bus because our family couldn’t afford one, and my parents thought it was safer for me to travel with them.

提案: Provide a fuller opinion with reasons and at least one specific example. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to connect your points and make the answer natural and informative.

例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because most people prefer cars for commuting. For example, cities have heavy traffic and limited bike lanes, so many people find cycling unsafe and inconvenient.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student's reply should use past tense. Using present tense 'don't have' is inconsistent with the time reference. Use 'didn't have' to match the past context and maintain correct subject-verb agreement for the past simple. Suggestion: Pay attention to time expressions (e.g., 'when I was a child') and use past tense verbs like 'didn't have' to refer to past situations.

× I don't think so.

✓ I don't think so.

This sentence is appropriate in present tense because the examiner's question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' is about a general present opinion. No correction needed. Suggestion: None; the present tense 'don't think' correctly expresses a current opinion.
