Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense because you are talking about childhood: say “I had,” not “I have.” Avoid repeating your answer; respond directly, then add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red one, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

提案: Answer directly with “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Use “bikes” generally without “the,” and say “convenient for short trips” rather than “easy to travel from.” Avoid repeating “easy” and finish with a specific reason or example. Check subject–verb agreement: “there are many people.”

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short trips. They’re affordable and convenient, and many people use them to commute or run errands.

× I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a past time, so use the past-tense form had instead of have.

× I do.

✓ I did.

The question asks about a past situation, so use did rather than do to keep the answer in the past tense.

× I do have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I did have a bike when I was a child.

Because when I was a child refers to the past, use did have rather than do have.

× The bikes are very popular in my country.

✓ Bikes are very popular in my country.

When speaking about bikes in general, do not use the definite article the before the plural noun.

× Bikes are very easy to travel from for a short distance.

✓ Bikes are very convenient for short-distance travel.

The phrase travel from does not fit this meaning. Use a structure such as convenient for short-distance travel to describe bikes as a suitable way to travel short distances.

× So there is there are many people in my country.

✓ So there are many people in my country.

Use there are with the plural noun phrase many people. Remove the incorrect repeated opening there is.
