Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense consistently: say “didn’t have” instead of “don’t have.” Also, replace “1” with “one” or “a bike,” and use “my neighbor’s bike” to make the meaning clearer. Your answer responds directly, but adding a specific detail would make it more engaging.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but I used to borrow one from my neighbor. I usually rode it around the neighborhood with my friends after school.
