Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Give a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (age, how often you used it, or a memory). Use linking words if you add details. Keep responses natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was eight and used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house and around the neighbourhood. Because the roads were quiet, I felt safe practicing new tricks and exploring nearby parks.

提案: Be careful with grammar and hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific supporting details and use linking words (for example, because, therefore, in addition). Correct subject-verb agreement and avoid filler sounds like “uh.” Keep to no more than five sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. For example, many people use motorbikes to commute to work and school, especially in busy cities. In addition, public parking is limited, so two-wheelers are a practical choice for daily travel.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Most of the traffic, uh, are seen with the bikes.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Most of the traffic, uh, is seen with bikes.

The subject 'Most of the traffic' is singular (traffic is an uncountable collective noun) so it requires the singular verb 'is', not 'are'. Also, the phrase 'with the bikes' is awkward; idiomatic English omits the definite article when speaking generally about things like 'bikes'. Suggestion: use 'is seen with bikes' or better 'is on bikes' or 'uses bikes' depending on intended meaning. This keeps subject-verb agreement and produces a natural phrasing.
