Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and direct, which is good, but it is repetitive and very short. To improve, give a brief reason or a short supporting detail using a linking word (for example: because, but, so). Keep it natural and within 2–4 sentences. Also avoid repeating words (e.g., 'No, no').

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 enough space to store one. However, I often borrowed my neighbor’s bike to ride around the park on weekends.

提案: The idea is relevant but the sentence has grammar and phrasing issues. Improve by starting with a clear topic sentence, use correct quantifiers and linking words, and add a specific example or reason to support your view. Keep it concise (2–4 sentences).

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in my hometown, because many people prefer them for short trips and exercise. For example, there are numerous bike lanes and a weekly market where people commonly cycle to shop.

× A lot bikes are quite popular in my country and especially in my hometown.

✓ A lot of bikes are quite popular in my country and especially in my hometown.

The phrase 'a lot' when referring to countable nouns must be followed by 'of' (a lot of bikes). Omitting 'of' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'a lot of' with plural countable nouns, or say 'many bikes' as an alternative.
