Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller, natural response with a topic sentence and a brief reason or contrast. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences) and use linking words to connect ideas. Also use slightly richer vocabulary (e.g., "own a bike" instead of "have a bike").

例: No, I didn’t own a bike when I was a child. I grew up in a busy city where cycling felt unsafe, so my parents preferred I walked or used public transport. However, I sometimes borrowed my neighbor’s bike to ride in the park at weekends.

提案: Respond directly and clearly with a topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and linking words. Avoid ungrammatical phrases like "not as more"; instead say "not very popular" or "less popular than before." Provide at least one concrete reason or example. Keep answer under 5 sentences.

例: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country nowadays. One reason is that many people prefer cars because roads are designed for driving, and public transport is convenient. For instance, in my city most families own a car, so cycling is mostly limited to parks and recreational areas.

× I think it's not as more.

✓ I don't think so.

The original sentence uses the comparative structure 'as more' which is ungrammatical. When responding to 'Are bikes popular?', a native-like short reply is 'I don't think so.' Alternatively, to keep comparative form: 'I don't think they're as popular (now).' Use 'as + adjective' with a comparison (e.g., 'as popular as before') or use 'more' alone (e.g., 'more popular'). Here, 'it's' is vague and singular while 'bikes' is plural, so replace with plural pronoun 'they' if keeping explicit reference. Suggested improvements: use 'I don't think so.' or 'I don't think bikes are very popular.'
