Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Give a clear yes/no response and add one specific detail, such as what you used the bike for.

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

提案: Use “bikes” without “the” when speaking generally, and avoid repeating the question’s wording. Support your opinion with a specific reason or example.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people ride them to work or school because they’re affordable and convenient.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike.

The examiner asks about the past with Did you have...? The answer should therefore use the past-tense auxiliary did, not the present-tense auxiliary do. Match the tense of your answer to the tense of the question.

× Yes, I think the bikes are popular in our country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country.

The sentence refers to bikes in general, not to a specific group of bikes. Use the plural noun bikes without the definite article the when making a general statement.
