Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller, natural answer with a topic sentence and brief supporting detail. Explain why you didn't have one or mention an alternative, using one or two linking words to connect ideas. Keep it concise (max 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, and my parents preferred that I be with friends or adults when going farther. As a result, I didn’t learn to ride until I was a teenager.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word to make it coherent. Mention where or among whom bikes are popular to add detail. Keep it natural and avoid repetition (use plural 'they' or 'bicycles').

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities and among students. For example, many people use them for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient, and there are several bike lanes in urban areas to support cycling.

× Yes, I think it is popular in our country.

✓ Yes, I think they are popular in our country.

The subject 'bikes' in the question is plural, so the pronoun referring back to it should be 'they' and the verb should agree in number: 'are' for plural. The original sentence used 'it is', which is singular and causes a subject-verb disagreement. Suggestion: identify the noun being referred to (bikes = plural) and use the matching pronoun and verb: 'they are'.
