Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand your answer with a brief topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details and use a linking word. Mention when you had it, what it looked like or a memory to make it more engaging and natural. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about eight years old. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it around my neighborhood every afternoon. Because my parents encouraged outdoor play, I remember learning to balance on weekends and feeling very proud when I finally rode without the extra wheels.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence, then add specific reasons and a linking word to support your opinion. Mention who uses bikes, for what purposes, or how common they are in cities versus rural areas. Stay natural and concise.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for commuting to work or university because they are cheap and avoid traffic, and there are also bike-sharing programs in major towns. Therefore, cycling is a common and practical choice for daily transport.

× Yes, it's very popular in my country.

✓ Yes, they're very popular in my country.

The examiner asked about 'bikes' (plural). The student replied with 'it's' which is singular and refers to one thing. This is a subject-verb/pronoun agreement error: a plural noun requires a plural pronoun and plural verb form. Replace 'it's' (it is) with 'they're' (they are) to match the plural subject 'bikes'. Suggestion: identify the noun referenced (singular or plural) and use the matching pronoun and verb form (they + are for plural).
