Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the sentence grammatically natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and articles, and avoid redundancy.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. However, I have one now, which I use mostly for short trips to the shops and weekend rides in the park.

提案: Give a more developed answer with specific reasons or examples and use a linking word to connect ideas. Expand slightly (1–2 sentences) to show opinion with supporting detail and vocabulary relevant to transport and lifestyle.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short commutes. For example, many students and office workers use bicycles to avoid traffic and save money on transport.

× No, I was not having a bike when I was child, but now I have a bike.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child, but now I have a bike.

The sentence uses 'was not having' which is incorrect because 'have' in the meaning of possession is a stative verb and is not normally used in the past continuous. Also 'when I was child' is missing the article 'a' before 'child'. Use simple past 'did not have' for a past state or possession. Suggestion: Replace 'was not having' with 'did not have' and add the article 'a' before 'child' to form 'when I was a child'.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country.

This sentence is grammatically correct. It correctly uses the present simple tense to state a general truth about the popularity of bikes. No change needed.
