Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct topic sentence then add 1–3 specific supporting details (what kind of bike, how old you were, a short memory). Use a linking word to connect the details and keep answer within 3–4 sentences. Also avoid one-word replies; expand naturally.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was about six, and I learned to ride it in my neighborhood park. Because my parents encouraged me, I practiced every weekend and soon I could ride without help.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence that agrees or disagrees, then give specific reasons and a brief example. Use linking words (for example, because, so, therefore) and correct subject-verb agreement. Keep it to 2–4 sentences and avoid single-word emphatic answers.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, there are dedicated bike lanes in most cities, so commuters often cycle to work to save time and money.

× Absolutely it is.

✓ Absolutely, they are.

The question asks about 'bikes' (plural). The student's response uses singular pronoun 'it' which does not agree with the plural noun. This is a subject-verb agreement / pronoun reference error. Use a plural pronoun 'they' and the corresponding plural verb 'are' to match 'bikes'. Also add a comma for natural spoken emphasis: 'Absolutely, they are.' Suggestion: identify the subject's number (singular vs plural) before choosing pronouns and verbs; when referring to 'bikes' use 'they' and 'are'.
