Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand your answer with a clear topic sentence and specific supporting details. Aim for 2–4 sentences total, use linking words to connect ideas, and add a brief reason or memory to make the response more engaging. Avoid one-word confirmations.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it almost every day around my neighborhood, often practicing tricks with my friends. Because our house was near a quiet park, it was a safe place to learn, and I remember how proud I felt when I could ride without training wheels.

提案: Provide a direct topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and examples using linking words. Avoid short negative answers; explain why you think so and, if possible, mention exceptions or recent trends to show nuance.

例: No, I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country. This is mainly because public transport is cheap and many people prefer motorbikes or cars for convenience. However, in some cities there is a growing interest in cycling for exercise and environmental reasons, especially among young people.

× No, I think it's not popular in my country.

✓ No, I think it is not popular in my country.

The error involves the contraction "it's" which is acceptable but in this context the pronoun referent is unclear; however the main grammatical issue is phrasing: when referring to bikes (plural), use 'they are' rather than 'it is'. The correct sentence is: 'No, I think they are not popular in my country.' This ensures subject-verb agreement: 'bikes' (plural) requires 'they are'. Suggestion: Replace 'it's' with 'they are' or 'they're' to match the plural noun. Note: also avoid negative contraction placement by using 'I don't think they are popular in my country' which is more natural.
