Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Correct the past-tense error: use “had” rather than “have” because you are talking about childhood. Your answer responds directly and gives a reason, but you could add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my dad bought one for me. It was blue, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood after school.

提案: Use the plural “bikes” after “people use,” or say “a bike.” Your answer is clear and gives a reason, but add a specific detail, such as where people ride or why cycling is convenient.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute to work. They are especially common in busy cities, where cycling can be cheaper and more convenient than driving.

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child because my dad bought it for me.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my dad bought it for me.

The question refers to the past, as shown by when you were a child. Use the past-tense form had rather than the present-tense form have. Keep the verb tense consistent with the past-tense context.

× Bikes are quite popular in my country because a lot of people use bike to go to work.

✓ Bikes are quite popular in my country because a lot of people use bikes to go to work.

The sentence refers to bikes in general, so use the plural countable noun bikes rather than the singular noun bike without an article. When speaking generally about countable things, the plural form is usually appropriate.
