Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “Yes, I did,” not “Yes, I do.” The phrase “I hide a bike where I was a child” is unclear; use “I had a bike” and add one relevant detail, such as where you rode it.

例: Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

提案: Make your opinion clear with “Yes, they are” or “No, they aren’t.” Then give a clear reason. Your answer mentions public transport, so explain how its convenience affects people’s choice to cycle. Use the present tense for this general topic.

例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because public transportation is convenient and widely available. Many people prefer taking the bus or train to get around.

× Yes I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question asks about a past situation using did, so the answer should also use the past-tense auxiliary did, not the present-tense do.

× I hide a bike where I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The question asks whether you owned a bike in the past. Use the past-tense verb had to describe ownership. Hide means to put something somewhere so it cannot be seen, which does not express owning a bike.

× I hide a bike where I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

Use when to refer to the time you were a child. Where refers to a place, so it does not fit this meaning.

× No, I didn't my because my country is popular.

✓ No, I don't, because public transport is popular in my country.

The examiner asks about a present-day situation, so use the present-tense auxiliary don't rather than the past-tense didn't. The revised sentence also makes clear that public transport, rather than the country itself, is popular.

× It's my country's popularity, public transport.

✓ Public transport is popular in my country.

The original wording does not form a clear, complete sentence. Use public transport as the subject, is as the verb, and popular as the complement to express the idea clearly.
