Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is difficult to understand because “butt” and “door” do not fit the context, and the response does not clearly say whether you had a bike. Answer the question directly, use the past tense “didn’t have,” and add one specific reason or detail. Being a girl is not a clear reason for not having a bike.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually played with dolls at home instead, and I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was older.

提案: You give a relevant response, but clarify whether you mean bicycles or motorbikes, since “bike” can refer to either. Correct the subject–verb agreement (“bikes are”) and avoid asking the examiner whether your example counts. Support your answer with a specific reason or example.

例: Yes, motorbikes are very popular in my country, especially in busy cities. They’re convenient for getting around in traffic, although bicycles are also common for short trips.

× I don't have any butt when I was a child 'cause I'm a girl.

✓ I didn't have any butt when I was a child 'cause I'm a girl.

The phrase when I was a child places the statement in the past, so use the past-tense auxiliary didn't rather than don't. Keep the main verb in its base form after didn't.

× In my country bikes is really popular most of the time, but the more popular bike is motorbike.

✓ In my country bikes are really popular most of the time, but the more popular bike is motorbike.

Bikes is a plural subject, so it needs the plural verb are, not is. Match the verb to the subject in number.

× In my country bikes is really popular most of the time, but the more popular bike is motorbike.

✓ In my country bikes are really popular most of the time, but the most popular bike is motorbike.

The sentence compares motorbikes with other types of bikes in the country, so it needs the superlative most popular rather than the comparative more popular. Use a comparative when comparing two things and a superlative when identifying the highest-ranking one among a group.

× In my country bikes is really popular most of the time, but the more popular bike is motorbike.

✓ In my country bikes are really popular most of the time, but the more popular bike is a motorbike.

Motorbike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before motorbike when referring to one motorbike as an example of a vehicle type.

× Is that count?

✓ Does that count?

In a present simple question with the main verb count, use does before the subject that. Is is used with be or as an auxiliary, but it cannot directly form this question with count.
