Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and use the past tense consistently. Replace the repeated phrase “bike” with “one” where appropriate, and change “it is a small bike” to “it was a small bike.” You could also add one specific detail about how or where you used it. Keep the answer natural and concise.

例: Yes, I did. My family bought me a small bike when I was about eight years old. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: State your opinion clearly and correct “bites” to “bikes.” Since “bikes” is plural, use “are popular,” not “is popular.” Also, “convenient to buy” is unclear; explain that bikes are affordable and convenient for transportation, and use a linking word such as “because” to connect your reasons.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys. Many people use them to commute to work or school, especially in areas with heavy traffic.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my family bought the bike for me and it is a small bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my family bought the bike for me, and it was a small bike.

The sentence describes a past situation, so the verb is should be changed to was. Use the past tense consistently when talking about your childhood.

× Yes, I think bites is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

Bikes is a plural noun, so it must be followed by the plural verb are, not is. Also, bites should be corrected to bikes because the topic is bicycles.

× It is convenient to buy and it is cheap.

✓ They are convenient to buy, and they are cheap.

The pronoun it refers to one singular thing, but bikes refers to more than one bicycle. Use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are when referring to bikes.
