Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and avoid unnecessary hesitation and repetition. “In my childhood” is understandable, but “when I was a child” sounds more natural. Add one specific detail, such as how often you used the bike or where you rode it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school. It was a simple bike, but I really enjoyed using it.

提案: Give a clear opinion and use the plural form because you are talking about bikes in general. The phrase “a convenient type of transport” needs an article, and “transportation” or “means of transport” would sound more natural. Avoid fillers such as “uh” and support your opinion with specific reasons or examples, such as low cost, environmental benefits, or traffic congestion.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are a convenient and affordable means of transport. Many people use them for short journeys, especially in crowded cities. They also help people avoid traffic and reduce pollution.

× Of course, yes, because uh, it is convenient type of uh, transport.

✓ Of course, yes, because they are a convenient type of transport.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use they and the plural verb are to agree with bikes. Avoiding fillers such as uh also makes the answer clearer.

× Of course, yes, because uh, it is convenient type of uh, transport.

✓ Of course, yes, because they are a convenient type of transport.

The singular countable noun phrase a convenient type requires the indefinite article a. The phrase should be a convenient type of transport, not convenient type of transport.
