Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, but use the past tense consistently: “had” instead of “have.” Add one specific supporting detail, such as how often you rode it, where you rode it, or who gave it to you. This will make your answer more natural and informative while keeping it within two or three sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school, and it was one of my favorite ways to spend my free time.

提案: Your answer is grammatically accurate and directly answers the question, but it is too brief and the phrase “Yes, of course” sounds slightly repetitive. Add a clear reason and a specific example, such as cycling for exercise, commuting, or avoiding traffic. Use a linking word like “because” to connect your ideas.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. Many people use them for exercise, while others ride to work or school to avoid heavy traffic.

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

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The question refers to a past period, when I was a child, so the verb have must be in the simple past tense, had. Use had for possession in the past.
