Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Score: 20.0Suggestion: 質問は子どもの頃に自転車を持っていたかを尋ねています。過去のことなので “I had” または “I didn’t have” を使い、必要なら理由や使い道を一つ加えましょう。また、“bike” は単数で使う場合、“a bike” とします。
Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school instead.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Score: 15.0Suggestion: 質問の対象は「あなたの国」ではなく「自転車」です。まず “Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country” のように、質問へ直接答えましょう。その後、通勤や運動など、人気の理由を具体的に一つ説明すると効果的です。
Example: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them to commute because they’re convenient and inexpensive.
× I don't have bike.
✓ I didn't have a bike.
The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense form didn't have instead of don't have. When answering questions about childhood, match the past-tense setting of the question.
× I don't have bike.
✓ I didn't have a bike.
Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to one bike.
