Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct answer to the question first, then add one or two specific supporting details. Keep responses natural, avoid repeating the examiner's words, and use correct grammar and linking words. For example, say whether you had a bike, mention its type or a memory, and use a linking word (e.g., "and" or "because").

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used to ride it every afternoon around my neighborhood because my parents wanted me to learn balance.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then add concise, specific supporting details. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement and articles), use linking words (however, for example, because), and avoid vague or incorrect brand/type terms. Limit to three to five sentences total.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, I own a Giant mountain bike, and several of my friends prefer gravel bikes for mixed roads. Additionally, cycling groups often organize weekend rides outside the city, which has helped increase biking's popularity.

× Yes, it is pretty popular here in the Philippines.

✓ Yes, they are pretty popular here in the Philippines.

The student uses 'it' and singular verb 'is' to refer to 'bikes', which is plural. This is a third person singular issue: use the plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are' to agree with the plural noun 'bikes'. Suggestion: Identify the subject (bikes) as plural and use plural pronouns and verbs: 'bikes ... they are'.

× My bike is a Giant, it's a mountain bike and most of the people here has a gravel bike

✓ My bike is a Giant; it's a mountain bike, and most people here have gravel bikes

The clause 'most of the people here has' uses singular verb 'has' with a plural subject 'most people', causing a subject-verb agreement / third person singular issue. Also 'a gravel bike' should be plural to match 'most people'. Suggestion: Use plural verb 'have' and plural noun 'gravel bikes' to match the plural subject: 'most people here have gravel bikes.'

× and some people also have bounty bike as well so I do rides outside.

✓ and some people also have bounty bikes as well, so I ride outside.

The phrase 'bounty bike' lacks the correct article or plural form; because 'some people' is plural, use plural noun 'bounty bikes'. 'Do rides outside' is unidiomatic: use simple present 'I ride outside.' The error falls under article errors and sentence structure/verb form. Suggestion: Use plural nouns with plural subjects ('bounty bikes') and use natural verb phrase 'I ride outside.'
