Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct short topic sentence then add one or two specific details to make the answer more natural and informative. Avoid single-word replies and hesitations. Use linking words if you add details (for example, “and” or “because”).

例: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle that my parents bought me for my seventh birthday, and I rode it to visit friends in the neighborhood every afternoon.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and examples. Use correct grammar (e.g., plural ‘bikes’) and smoother linking phrases such as “because,” “for example,” or “also.” Keep the answer to no more than 3–4 sentences and avoid fillers like “umm.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and practical for short trips. For example, many children use bicycles to go to school and adults often cycle to local markets, especially in smaller towns.

× I believe yes, because bike is very fun to use and it is a childhood, umm game.

✓ I believe so, because bikes are very fun to use and they are childhood games.

Errors: 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' to match general statement about popularity (singular/plural issue). 'is' must change to 'are' for plural subject (subject-verb agreement tied to plural). 'it is a childhood game' is unnatural when referring to bikes in general; use plural 'they are childhood games' or rephrase to 'it is a childhood pastime'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns and matching verbs when making general statements about a category. Also replace 'yes' with 'so' after 'I believe' for natural phrasing.'
