Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense consistently: say “I had” instead of “I do have.” Answer directly, then add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it. This will make the response more natural and complete.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: State your opinion more naturally with “Yes, I do” or “Yes, I think they are.” Avoid the unclear phrase “that time” and use “when I go to the park” instead. Also, use the plural “bicycles” and reduce fillers such as “umm” and “uh.” Add a specific reason or example to make the answer more coherent.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children. Whenever I go to a park, I see many of them riding bicycles, and some adults also use bikes to commute or exercise.

× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.

The question refers to a past period, when I was a child, so the verb should be in the simple past. Use did have instead of do have.

× Well, I think yes, because that time, umm, I can see uh, many children riding bicycle every time I go to the park.

✓ Well, I think yes, because at that time, umm, I could see many children riding bicycles every time I went to the park.

Use the preposition at before that time when referring to a specific period. The phrase because that time is not grammatically correct; use because at that time.

× Well, I think yes, because that time, umm, I can see uh, many children riding bicycle every time I go to the park.

✓ Well, I think yes, because at that time, umm, I could see many children riding bicycles every time I went to the park.

The speaker is describing a past period, so can see and go should be changed to their past forms, could see and went. Keeping the verbs in the past makes the time reference consistent.

× Well, I think yes, because that time, umm, I can see uh, many children riding bicycle every time I go to the park.

✓ Well, I think yes, because at that time, umm, I could see many children riding bicycles every time I went to the park.

The noun should be plural because it refers to many children riding more than one bicycle. Use bicycles instead of bicycle.
