Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and use the past tense consistently. Change “have” to “had” because you are talking about childhood. You could also add one specific detail, such as how often you used the bike or where you rode it. A linking word such as “Usually” or “because” can make the response more natural, while keeping it within two or three sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, and I really enjoyed exploring the area with my friends.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, such as “Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country.” Correct “and our country” to “in my country,” and avoid fillers such as “like.” Explain why bikes are popular by mentioning a specific reason, such as convenience, low cost, or environmental benefits. Use linking words such as “especially” and “because” to connect your ideas logically.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people and commuters. They are affordable and convenient, and many people use them to avoid heavy traffic and stay healthy.

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

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

The question asks about a past period, so the verb should be in the simple past tense. Use had, not have, because the student is describing bike ownership during childhood.

× I think yes bikes are popular and our country because like a lot of bikers use this

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because a lot of people like to use them.

The correct preposition for referring to a country is in. Therefore, say in our country, not and our country.

× I think yes bikes are popular and our country because like a lot of bikers use this

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because a lot of people like to use them.

Bikes is plural, so the pronoun referring to bikes should be them, not this. Use them when referring to more than one object.

× I think yes bikes are popular and our country because like a lot of bikers use this

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because a lot of people like to use them.

The original sentence has an incomplete because clause and an incorrect connection between ideas. A complete structure is subject plus verb: a lot of people like to use them. Also, place the phrase in our country after popular to make the sentence clear and grammatically complete.
