Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a brief direct answer then add one or two supporting details to make your response natural and informative. For example, mention why you didn’t have one, who did, or a related memory. Keep it under five sentences and use a linking phrase if you add details (e.g., “because”, “however”, “instead”).

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn’t space to store one. Instead, I usually walked to school or used public transport, so I never learned to cycle regularly.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific supporting details and use correct grammar and linking words. Avoid redundancy (don’t repeat “are popular”). Mention who uses bikes, why they are popular, or where they are common. Keep the answer concise (1–4 sentences).

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and errands. In cities, you often see students and office workers cycling to avoid traffic, and there has also been a recent increase in bike-sharing schemes.

× Yes, there are many bikes are popular in our country.

✓ Yes, many bikes are popular in our country.

The sentence contains an extra 'are' causing a redundant use of the verb 'to be'. When describing existence you can use 'there are many bikes', or to state a fact about bikes being popular you should say 'many bikes are popular'. The original mixes both structures ('there are' + 'are popular'), which is ungrammatical. Choose one structure depending on meaning: use 'There are many bikes in our country' to emphasize existence/number, or 'Many bikes are popular in our country' to emphasize that bikes themselves are popular. For spoken, the most natural correction is 'Many bikes are popular in our country' or better: 'Bikes are very popular in our country.'
