Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly using the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Add one specific detail, such as how often you rode your bike or where you used it.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike and rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Your response answers the question, but it is too brief and lacks a complete sentence. Explain why bikes are popular and add a relevant detail, using a linking word such as “because” or “for example.”

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around. For example, many people ride them to work or school.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the simple past tense, Did you have...? The answer should use the past-tense auxiliary did, not have. Match the tense of the question when giving a short answer.

× Yes, very popular.

✓ Yes, they are very popular.

The response is missing a subject and a verb. Add they to refer to bikes and are to form a complete sentence. In a short answer, you can also say, Yes, they are.
