Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a slightly longer, more natural response with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Avoid very short answers; add specifics (what kind of bike, when you got it, or a brief memory) and use a linking word if adding another point.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend. Because it had training wheels at first, I felt safe while I learned to balance.

提案: Make the response more accurate and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence about popularity in your country, then give specific reasons or examples using linking words. Correct grammar (singular/plural, articles, prepositions) and avoid vague phrases like “many countries” when asked about your country.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and practical for short trips. For example, many people cycle to work or the market, and in my neighborhood almost everyone owns a bike, especially students and shopkeepers.

× Yes, it's very popular in many countries.

✓ Yes, they are very popular in many countries.

The student refers to 'bikes' (plural), so the verb and pronoun must agree in number. Using 'it's' (it is) treats the subject as singular. Change to 'they are' to match the plural noun 'bikes'. Suggestion: Keep subject number consistent; if the noun is plural, use plural pronouns and verbs (they are).

× Everybody, every neighbors also ride the bike in here.

✓ Everybody and all the neighbors also ride bikes here.

There are multiple pronoun and determiner issues. 'Everybody' is singular in form but takes plural verb sense; combining 'everybody' with 'every neighbors' is ungrammatical because 'every' requires a singular noun ('every neighbor'). Using 'the bike' implies a single bike, but the intended meaning is general use of bicycles, so use the plural 'bikes'. Also 'in here' is unnatural; use 'here'. Suggestion: Use parallel and correct determiners: 'Everybody and all the neighbors' or simply 'Everyone and the neighbors', then use plural noun 'bikes' and 'here' for place.
