Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. The phrase “I have no bike” should be “I didn’t have a bike,” and “metalloid” is incorrect or unclear in this context. Add a brief reason or detail to make your answer more complete, and use a natural expression such as “when I was a child.”

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was safer for me to walk or use public transportation, so I never learned to ride one.

提案: State your opinion clearly and use correct subject–verb agreement: “Bikes aren’t very popular.” Avoid repetition and hesitation, especially “use used you using.” Also, “people” is already plural, so do not say “peoples.” Support your answer with a specific comparison or reason, such as traffic, convenience, or the popularity of cars.

例: No, bikes aren’t very popular in my country. Most people prefer using cars because they are more comfortable and convenient, especially for long journeys. However, cycling is becoming more common among young people in large cities.

× No, I have no bike and metalloid.

✓ No, I had no bike or metalloid.

The question uses the past tense, “Did you have...?”, so the answer should also use the past form “had,” not the present form “have.” Using “or” after a negative statement is also more natural when referring to two things that the speaker did not possess.

× No, bikes is not more popular in our country because nowadays, uh, all the peoples use used you using cars rather than bikes.

✓ No, bikes are not very popular in our country because nowadays, all people are using cars rather than bikes.

The plural subject “bikes” requires the plural verb “are,” not “is.” Remember to match singular subjects with “is” and plural subjects with “are.”

× No, bikes is not more popular in our country because nowadays, uh, all the peoples use used you using cars rather than bikes.

✓ No, bikes are not very popular in our country because nowadays, all people are using cars rather than bikes.

“People” is already the plural form of “person,” so “peoples” is incorrect in this context. Use “people” when referring to human beings generally.

× No, bikes is not more popular in our country because nowadays, uh, all the peoples use used you using cars rather than bikes.

✓ No, bikes are not very popular in our country because nowadays, all people are using cars rather than bikes.

The sequence “use used you using” contains an incorrect combination of verb forms. To describe an activity happening nowadays, use the present continuous structure “are using”: subject + be + verb-ing. In careful speech, avoid repeating or restarting the verb phrase.
