Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear, direct, and grammatically correct. However, it is very short and repeats the same idea with “bike” and “bicycle.” Add one specific reason or brief personal detail to make the answer more developed and natural.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was too dangerous to ride on the busy roads near our home. Instead, I usually played football with my friends.

提案: You answer the question, but the explanation is not logically connected: having friends with bicycles does not clearly prove that bikes are popular in your country. Also, use “they are” or “bikes are” instead of “it is,” and avoid the informal filler “so yeah.” Give a general reason and a specific example, using linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “especially.”

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who live in crowded cities. They are affordable and convenient, and many people use them to travel short distances or exercise.

× Yes, it is because I have a lot of friends. They have bicycles, so yeah.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular because I have a lot of friends who have bicycles.

The pronoun 'it' is singular, but it refers to 'bikes,' which is plural. Therefore, use the plural noun 'bikes' or the plural pronoun 'they.' The correction also connects the two ideas more clearly by using 'who have bicycles' to describe the friends.
