Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the examiner's question rather than repeating it. Use “when I was a child,” not “when I was a child's.” Add a brief detail, such as how you used the bike or how you felt about it.

例: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

提案: Your answer gives a clear opinion, but “everyone uses bicycles” is too broad and does not explain why they are popular. Give a specific reason or example, and finish the sentence instead of ending with “so.” Use lowercase “everyone” after “because.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. They’re affordable and convenient for short trips, so many people use them to commute or run errands.

× Did you have a bike when you were a child's?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Use the singular noun child here. The apostrophe and s make child's possessive, but no possessive form is needed after were. Use a singular or plural noun form that matches the intended meaning.

× Yeah, in my opinion bicycles are popular in my country because Everyone uses bicycles so

✓ Yeah, in my opinion, bicycles are popular in my country because everyone uses bicycles.

Because already introduces the reason, so adding so at the end creates an unnecessary and incomplete conjunction structure. Use because to connect the reason to the main clause, and end the sentence after bicycles. Also, everyone should not be capitalized in the middle of a sentence.
