Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You answer directly, but use the past tense because the question is about your childhood: say “I had,” not “I have.” Add one relevant detail, such as how you used the bike or who gave it to you.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighbourhood after school, and my parents bought it for my birthday.

提案: Use “bikes” rather than “bars” to answer the question clearly. Avoid making a broad claim that your country is poor; instead, explain specifically why people use bikes, such as affordability, convenience, or traffic. You could also give an example of where they are popular.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around, and many people use them for short trips to work or the shops.

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

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

The sentence refers to a completed period in the past, indicated by 'when I was a child,' so the verb should also be in the past tense. Use 'had' instead of 'have'.
