Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the simple past because you are talking about your childhood: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have.” Begin with a direct answer and, if possible, add a brief specific detail explaining why or describing how you travelled.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents usually took me to school, so I didn’t really need one.

提案: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason, but “the Indian people” and “in daily use” are unnatural in this context. Say “people in India” and explain that motorcycles are often more convenient than cars because they are cheaper and easier to use in traffic. Use a linking word such as “This is because” to connect your explanation smoothly.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in India. This is because motorcycles are cheaper and easier to use than cars, especially in busy city traffic. Many people use them for commuting to work or school.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation, so the answer must use the past tense. The verb have changes to did not have, or didn't have, in the past tense.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because in daily use the Indian people use bikes more than cars.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because people in India use bikes more than cars in their daily lives.

The phrase in daily use is not the correct expression for talking about everyday activities. Use in their daily lives instead. Also, placing the phrase at the end makes the sentence clearer and more natural. Try using people in India rather than the Indian people when referring generally to the population.
