Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant but has some issues: slight repetition (saying you had and still have a bike twice), an odd verb choice (“drive” instead of “ride”), and it could be more concise with one or two specific supporting details. To improve, use a topic sentence, then add one or two specific details (where you rode, who taught you, a memorable moment), use appropriate verbs, and avoid repeating the same idea.

例: Yes, I had a bike as a child. I received it when I was about five and learned to ride it by practicing in the park near my home; my older brother helped me balance and I remember feeling very proud the first time I cycled without training wheels.

提案: The answer is too brief and the reason given (population size) does not logically support popularity of bikes. Improve by providing a clear opinion and specific reasons or examples (e.g., bike lanes, cycling culture, commuting habits), and use a linking phrase to connect reason to opinion.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many cities have extensive bike lanes and people often cycle to work or school. For example, during weekends local markets are full of cyclists and some towns organize community bike rides.

× So yes, I do have a bike and I still do have one.

✓ So yes, I have a bike and I still have one.

The sentence uses auxiliary 'do' with the present simple unnecessarily. In affirmative present simple statements with 'have' meaning possession, do-support is not required. Remove 'do' to form the natural present simple: 'I have'. Suggestion: use 'I have' for possession rather than 'I do have'.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country since our country has nineteen million people, so yes I think it's very popular.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country since our country has nineteen million people, so I think they are very popular.

The pronoun reference and quantifier are unclear: 'it's very popular' refers to a singular noun, but 'bikes' is plural. Use the plural pronoun 'they' to agree with 'bikes' and avoid repeating 'yes'. Also remove the redundant 'so yes'. Suggestion: replace 'it's' with 'they are' to match plural subject and streamline the sentence.
