Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use correct tense and a clear topic sentence, expand slightly with one or two specific details and a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school with my friends, so I rarely needed one. As a result, I learned the neighborhood on foot and only tried cycling occasionally at family outings.

提案: Give a direct answer then add a specific reason or example using a linking word to make your reply more informative and natural. Use varied vocabulary rather than repeating 'popular.'

例: Yes, bicycles are very common in my country. For example, many people use them for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient, and in recent years the government has built more bike lanes to encourage cycling.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence describes a past situation ('when I was a child'), so the verb must be in the past tense. The student used the present simple negative ('don't have') which conflicts with the time frame. Use the past simple negative 'didn't have' to match the past reference. Suggestion: Use past tense verbs consistently when referring to past time (e.g., 'I didn't have', 'I lived').

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present simple to describe a general truth or current situation ('are popular'), which fits the question asking about current popularity. No correction needed.
