Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense, since the question asks about your childhood. Add the article “a” before “bike,” and include one brief detail to make your response more complete.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Your reason is relevant, but avoid repeating “you know” and “not.” Use “bicycles” or “bikes” consistently, and connect your reason and examples clearly. You could also mention that bicycles are an affordable way to travel.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. They’re more affordable than cars, so many people use them to commute to work or school, especially for short distances.

× Yes, I have bike when I was a child

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

The question asks about a period in the past, indicated by when you were a child. Use the past-tense form had instead of have. When answering questions about past experiences, keep the verb tense consistent with the past-time reference.

× Yes, I have bike when I was a child

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

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to one bike. Remember that singular countable nouns generally cannot stand alone.

× Yeah, it's quite popular because you know not not everybody can afford a car so you know they'd rather buy a bike and go to school or go to work or go somewhere else

✓ Yeah, they're quite popular because not everybody can afford a car, so they'd rather buy a bike and go to school, go to work, or go somewhere else.

The subject bikes is plural, so the response should use the plural verb phrase they are, contracted as they're, rather than it's. Make sure the verb agrees in number with the noun being discussed.
