Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then add one specific detail—such as when you got the bike or where you used to ride it. Avoid the filler “Uh” and try not to repeat the question’s wording.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about eight, and I used to ride it around my neighbourhood with my friends.

提案: Give a clear opinion and support it with a specific, believable reason or example. Use the plural “bikes” or say “ride a bike,” and avoid making a precise statistic unless you know it is accurate. Remove the filler “uh” and connect your ideas smoothly.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around, and many people use them for short trips to work or school.

× I guess uh, more than half the population in my country uses bike so it's very popular.

✓ I guess, uh, more than half the population in my country uses bikes, so they are very popular.

Bike is used as a general plural noun here, so it should be bikes. They then clearly refers to bikes. The subject of uses is the singular noun population, so uses is correct.
