Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the simple past: say “I had a bike,” not “I was having a bike.” You could add one specific detail, such as when you rode it or where you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Use the natural phrase “quite a lot of people,” and keep the plural noun and pronoun consistent: “people have bikes and use them.” Replace “in every in their every day” with a clear expression such as “for everyday transportation.” Add a specific reason or example to develop your answer.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in Egypt. Many people use them for short trips and everyday transportation because they are affordable and convenient.

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

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

Having a bike describes a state of possession, so the simple past had is more appropriate than the past progressive was having. Use the simple past for a possession that existed during a period in the past.

× Sure, bikes are popular in my country. Here in Egypt just a lot of people have bikes and they use it in every in their every day

✓ Sure, bikes are popular in my country. Here in Egypt, a lot of people have bikes, and they use them every day.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use them to refer to plural nouns. For improvement, match the pronoun to the number of the noun it replaces.

× Sure, bikes are popular in my country. Here in Egypt just a lot of people have bikes and they use it in every in their every day

✓ Sure, bikes are popular in my country. Here in Egypt, a lot of people have bikes, and they use them every day.

The phrase in every in their every day is not a grammatical phrase and makes the ending difficult to understand. Say every day to express how often people use their bikes; it does not need a preposition. Also, place a comma after the introductory phrase Here in Egypt.
