Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer just repeated the examiner's question rather than responding. Give a direct, relevant answer (topic sentence) and add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and no more than 5 sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, then add when/how often you used it or a short memory.

例: Yes, I did. When I was about eight years old my parents bought me a red bicycle, and I rode it almost every day around the neighbourhood. It helped me learn balance and made me feel very independent.

提案: Your answer is too short and has a grammar issue (subject-verb agreement and vague pronoun). Give a clear topic sentence and then add a specific reason or example, using linking words to connect ideas. Use plural form 'they are' or 'bicycles are'.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short journeys and exercise. For instance, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and affordable rental schemes, so more commuters choose cycling over driving.

× 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 expects a reply about bikes in general. The student answered 'Yes, it is,' which uses singular pronoun 'it' and singular verb 'is,' causing a mismatch in number. Replace 'it' with the plural pronoun 'they' and 'is' with 'are' to agree with the plural subject. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, they are' or a full sentence like 'Yes, bikes are popular.'
