Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, but avoid repeating “Yeah, yes.” “Growing up” already means “when I was a child,” so you can remove the extra phrase. Add one brief, specific detail about how you used the bikes to make your answer more engaging.

例: Yes, I had two bikes as a child. I used to ride one around my neighborhood, especially on weekends.

提案: Give a clear answer and support it with a specific, realistic example. Reduce fillers and repeated words such as “like,” “uh,” and “and.” Avoid saying “everyone”; “many people” is more accurate. Use “cycle to shopping centers” and “go cycling,” rather than “hiking with a bike.” For a situation that continues up to now, say “I haven’t bought a bike yet.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in Japan. Many people use them for short trips, such as cycling to a local shopping center or station. I don’t have one at the moment, though, and I haven’t bought one yet.

× But sadly I I didn't buy a bike yet.

✓ But sadly, I haven't bought a bike yet.

The sentence describes something that has not happened up to the present, and yet commonly occurs with the present perfect in this context. Use have not + the past participle bought, rather than the simple past didn't buy.
