Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no + brief detail), then add one or two short supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural, avoid repetition, and limit to at most five sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it almost every day to visit friends and go to school, and it helped me feel independent. For example, I remember riding along the river with my brother on warm afternoons.

提案: Your answer is relevant but has grammatical errors, vague phrasing, and hesitations. Improve by using correct plural/singular forms, adding a clear topic sentence, and supporting it with specific reasons and a linking word. Keep answers concise (1–3 sentences) and fluent with fewer fillers.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For instance, many people use bikes to commute to work or to attend festivals, especially in busy urban areas.

× Yes, bike is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

The original sentence uses the singular noun 'bike' without an article, which is incorrect when speaking about a general class of things. Use the plural form 'bikes' to talk about bicycles in general, and pair it with the plural verb 'are' for subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: use plural nouns (bikes) when referring to the general popularity of an item across a population.

× Umm, lots of people used bike during big days.

✓ Umm, lots of people used bikes during big days.

The verb 'used' is past tense which matches the context if the student means in the past; however the noun 'bike' is singular without an article. When referring to many people each using a bicycle in the past, the plural noun 'bikes' is required. If the intended meaning is habitual in the past, 'used to ride bikes' would be clearer: 'Lots of people used to ride bikes on big days.' Suggestion: make the noun plural and consider 'used to' + verb if expressing a past habit.
