Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a short direct answer followed by one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid one-word replies. For example, mention reasons or a brief memory to make the answer natural and informative. Keep it within 3–5 sentences.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school because my family lived nearby. However, I remember borrowing my neighbour’s bike sometimes, which felt very exciting.

提案: Answer the question directly about popularity first, then support with specific reasons and avoid irrelevant personal remarks. Use linking words (e.g., ‘because’, ‘for example’, ‘however’) and more appropriate phrasing instead of ‘I'm poor’. Keep responses concise and natural.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or to run errands in crowded city areas. However, some families cannot afford to buy new bikes, so they rely on public transport or second-hand bicycles.

× Yes, but I'm poor to buy a bike.

✓ Yes, but I'm too poor to buy a bike.

The student used 'poor to' which is incorrect. In English, the adverb 'too' is used before an adjective to indicate that something prevents an action (too + adjective + to + verb). Use 'too poor to buy a bike' to show lack of money prevents buying. Suggestion: place 'too' before the adjective 'poor' when followed by 'to' plus verb (e.g., 'too busy to help').
