Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct but fuller response: state whether you likely had a bike or not, add a brief reason or memory, and use a linking word if adding detail. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences.

例: I don't clearly remember having a bike when I was a child, but I think I had a small balance bike for a short time. For example, I remember practicing in my parents' yard and falling a few times, which is why I mainly walked or used public transport instead.

提案: Expand the answer with specific reasons and an example. Start with a topic sentence, then use linking words (for example, because, moreover) to give supporting details such as who uses bikes, where, and why.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in the city centre you can see students and office workers cycling to work, and moreover many towns have dedicated bike lanes which makes cycling safer and more convenient.

× I don't remember that.

✓ I don't remember.

The phrase 'I don't remember that' is grammatically acceptable but sounds unnatural in reply to 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'. The question asks about a past situation; a natural response is 'I don't remember.' without 'that.' Remove 'that' to make the sentence concise and idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'I don't remember' or 'I don't remember whether I had one' if you want to be explicit. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I think so./Yes, they are.

Answering 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' with a single-word 'Yes.' is grammatically correct but incomplete. Provide a short clause to match the question's subject (bikes) and show opinion: 'Yes, I think so.' or 'Yes, they are.' This improves clarity and fits the expected sentence structure.
