Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Use the natural phrase “ride a bike” or “go cycling” instead of “practice biking,” and add a brief relevant detail if you can.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but I sometimes borrowed one from a friend.

提案: Give a direct answer, use a plural verb with “a lot of people,” and say “ride bikes” or “go cycling” rather than “do bicycling.” Add a specific reason or example to develop your response.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them to work or school because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around.

× No, I don't, but I practice biking.

✓ No, I didn't, but I practice biking.

The question asks whether you had a bike in the past, so the answer should use the past-tense auxiliary didn't rather than don't. The present tense practice can remain because it may describe what you do now.

× Yes, a lot of people is doing bicycling.

✓ Yes, a lot of people are bicycling.

People is plural, so it requires the plural verb are, not is. Also, bicycling is used directly as the activity; doing bicycling is not the natural verb construction here.
