Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand your answer with a topic sentence plus one or two brief supporting details. Use linking words if adding details. Mention when you had the bike, how often you used it, or a short memory to make the response more natural and informative.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was eight, and I rode it almost every afternoon to visit friends or explore the neighborhood. Because it was lightweight and easy to handle, I learned to ride confidently within a few weeks.

提案: Make the response more grammatical and specific: start with a clear topic sentence, then give supporting reasons and an example. Use correct grammar (e.g., 'there are a lot of people who go to school by bicycle') and a linking word such as 'because' or 'for example'. Aim for 2–3 sentences total.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. This is mainly because many students and workers use them for short commutes, and they are affordable and convenient. For example, I often see groups of pupils cycling to school each morning along the main road.

× Yeah, they are very popular in my country because there is a lot of people who's going to school using the bicycle.

✓ Yeah, they are very popular in my country because there are a lot of people who go to school using bicycles.

This sentence has multiple issues that match the 'Singular and plural issue' type: 'there is a lot of people' should be 'there are a lot of people' because 'people' is plural and requires the plural form of the verb 'to be'. 'who's' is a contraction of 'who is' or 'who has', which is incorrect for a plural subject; it should be the relative pronoun 'who' followed by the plural verb 'go' (not 'is going') to match habitual action. 'the bicycle' is singular and definite; when speaking generally about many people using bikes, use the plural 'bicycles' or the uncountable 'biking'. Suggested improvement: use 'there are' with plural nouns, use 'who' + correct verb form for plural subjects, and use plural nouns when referring to many items.
