Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Reply directly in past tense, give a brief reason or contrast, and keep it natural and concise. Use one topic sentence then one supporting detail; avoid present tense for past situations. For example, say you didn’t have a bike and explain why or what you did instead.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn’t afford one, so I usually walked to school or took public transport with my older sister.

提案: Use correct grammar (subject–verb agreement and articles), be specific with examples or reasons, and link ideas with a connector. Keep it within 2–3 sentences: a clear topic sentence then one specific supporting detail (who uses them, for what, or why).

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and practical. For example, many people use bicycles for short trips to the market or to commute to work, especially in crowded cities where parking is difficult.

× No, I do not have the bike.

✓ No, I did not have a bike.

The question asks about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Do not have' is present tense; change to 'did not have'. Also, use 'a bike' (no definite article) because it is general possession, not a specific bike. Suggestion: Use past simple for past time references and use 'a' for non-specific singular nouns.

× Everybody have the bike in the house, so people like to go outside with bike rather than the buses.

✓ Everybody has a bike at home, so people prefer to go out by bike rather than by bus.

Multiple issues: 'Everybody' is singular and requires 'has' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'a bike' for general possession and 'at home' is the natural prepositional phrase. 'Like to go outside with bike' is awkward; 'prefer to go out by bike' is more natural. 'The buses' is incorrect in general comparison; use 'by bus' (no article) for the general mode of transport. Suggestions: Match verb to singular indefinite pronouns (everybody has), use 'a' for one of something, use idiomatic prepositions ('at home', 'by bike', 'by bus'), and use 'prefer' when comparing habitual choices.
