Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and remove “Follow trip to cut times,” which is unclear and unrelated. Your second sentence is understandable, but “I’m not sure why” sounds more natural than “I don't know the main reason why.” Add one relevant detail, such as how you got around or whether you wanted a bike.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I’m not sure why my father didn’t buy me one, but I usually walked to school and played with my friends nearby.

提案: Your opening answers the question, but the supporting detail is awkward: “especially if children use bikes on the street” does not clearly explain how popular bikes are. Use a natural phrase such as “especially among children” and add a specific example or reason. “From what I’ve seen” is a more natural alternative to “as far as I can see” here.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children. From what I’ve seen, many kids ride them in parks or around their neighbourhoods because cycling is fun and convenient.

× Follow trip to cut times.

✓ Omit this fragment unless you can clarify what you meant. The rest of the answer can read: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I don't know why my father didn't buy one for me.

This fragment does not form a clear, complete sentence, and its intended meaning cannot be determined from the transcript. A complete sentence needs a clear subject and verb, and the wording should express the intended idea. The rest of the answer is grammatically acceptable; using one instead of repeating a bike is a natural stylistic choice, not a required correction.
