Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is short and grammatically correct but too brief. To get a higher score, give a clear topic sentence and add 1–2 specific supporting details (when you had it, who gave it, how you used it, or a short memory). Use a linking word if you add more than one sentence (for example, “and” or “so”). Keep overall length to no more than 4–5 sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about eight years old, and my parents bought it for me as a birthday present. I rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day, so it became one of my favorite childhood possessions.

提案: The answer is grammatically incorrect and too short. Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give specific reasons and at least one example. Use correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g., “there are no bicycles” or “bicycles are not common”). Use a linking word such as “because” to connect opinion and reason and keep to 3–4 sentences.

例: No, bicycles are not very popular in my country because most people prefer cars or motorcycles for daily travel. For example, public roads are busy and there are few bike lanes, so many people feel riding a bike is unsafe. As a result, bicycles are seen more as toys for children than as a common transport option.

× No, because there are not bicycle in my country.

✓ No, because there are not bicycles in my country.

The error is a singular and plural issue: the noun 'bicycle' should be plural when used after 'are' and with 'not' indicating general lack. Use 'bicycles' to match the plural verb 'are'. Suggestion: say 'there are no bicycles in my country' or 'there aren't any bicycles in my country' for more natural phrasing.
