Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly using “bike,” not “bag.” Use past-tense forms consistently: say “I had” or “I used to have,” and “I enjoyed it.” You can add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was about seven, and I enjoyed riding it around our neighborhood.

提案: Give a clear answer using the present tense, such as “Bikes aren’t very popular.” Avoid saying “everyone,” which is too absolute, and explain briefly why motorcycles are more common. If possible, include a specific reason or comparison.

例: Bikes aren’t very popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people prefer motorcycles because they’re faster and more convenient for commuting.

× Yes, I used to have a bag since I was a child and I remember that my parents bought it and I enjoy it a lot.

✓ Yes, I used to have a bag when I was a child, and I remember that my parents bought it. I enjoyed it a lot.

The phrase 'used to have' describes a past habit, so 'when I was a child' is more suitable than 'since I was a child.' 'Since' usually introduces a starting point for a situation that continues to the present and is commonly used with the present perfect. Also, use 'enjoyed' rather than 'enjoy' because the enjoyment being described happened in the past.

× In our country it wasn't that popular since everyone loves to ride a motorcycle.

✓ In our country, bikes aren't that popular since everyone loves to ride a motorcycle.

The question asks about bikes' general popularity, so use the present tense 'aren't' rather than the past tense 'wasn't.' The present tense 'loves' correctly describes a general preference.
