Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is too short and unnatural. You should respond directly to the question with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and relevant. For example, say whether you had a bike, describe it briefly, and give a short reason or memory.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I learned to ride it in my neighborhood park. Because my parents encouraged outdoor play, I used to ride it every afternoon with my friends.

提案: Your answer is incorrect and ungrammatical for the question. Use a direct topic sentence that answers the question (e.g., yes or no), then give specific reasons or examples using linking words to make it coherent. Avoid personal pronouns like “I am” that don't respond to the question.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is heavy and cycling is inexpensive; additionally, several cities have built bike lanes, which encourages more people to ride.

× Yes, I am.

✓ Yes, they are.

The student was answering a question about 'bikes' (plural). The reply 'Yes, I am' incorrectly uses the first-person singular pronoun and the verb 'am', which refers to the speaker, not the bikes. The correct response should refer to 'bikes' and use a plural subject and verb, e.g. 'Yes, they are.' Suggestion: understand the subject of the question (bikes) and match person and number when replying; use 'they are' or 'yes, bicycles are popular'.
