Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Replace “I do have” with “I had” and avoid the slightly unnatural phrase “riding on it”; say “riding it” instead. You could also add one specific detail, such as where you rode it or who you rode with, using a linking word like “because” or “especially.”

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I really enjoyed riding it every morning. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends, because it was a fun way to start the day.

提案: Your answer is relevant and grammatically understandable, but the first two sentences repeat the same idea. Give a more direct topic sentence and support it with specific reasons or examples, such as affordability, convenience, exercise, or cycling infrastructure. Use a linking word to make the explanation more coherent and use the plural form “bikes” when speaking generally.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and young adults. They are affordable and convenient, so many people use them for short journeys and exercise. In addition, some cities have dedicated bike lanes, which makes cycling safer.

× Yes, I do have a bike and I really enjoyed riding on it every morning.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike, and I really enjoyed riding it every morning.

The question asks about the past, using 'Did you have...?' Therefore, the answer should also use the past tense: 'I did have,' not 'I do have.' The preposition 'on' is unnecessary after 'ride' when referring to riding a bike, so 'riding it' is more natural.
