Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand your response to be more natural and informative. Start with a direct answer, then add one or two brief supporting details (reason, context or a short example). Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "but") to make it coherent and keep the total to no more than five sentences.

例: No, I didn't. I grew up in a small apartment and there was nowhere safe to ride, so my parents thought it was unsafe for me to have one. However, I remember sometimes borrowing my cousin's bike when we visited the countryside.

提案: Make the answer grammatical, expand it with specific supporting details and use linking words to explain why. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add reasons, comparisons or examples to support your view. Aim for natural phrasing and avoid one-word replies.

例: Yes, they are quite popular. Many people use bicycles for short trips and commuting in cities because they are economical and help avoid traffic. For example, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and a public bike-sharing system, so lots of students and office workers choose to cycle.

× Student: Yes it is

✓ Student: Yes, they are

The question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' uses the plural noun 'bikes' and requires a response that agrees in number. The original reply 'Yes it is' uses singular pronoun 'it' and singular verb 'is', causing a subject-verb agreement mismatch. Use 'they are' to refer back to the plural noun 'bikes'. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, they are' or 'Yes, bicycles are' depending on formality.
