Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer responds directly and includes a relevant personal detail. To make it more natural, say “when I was six” rather than “when I was 6,” and consider adding a brief detail about the bike or how you felt riding it. Your answer is already clear and concise.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was six. It was a small red one, and I often rode it to visit my relatives. I really enjoyed being outdoors and getting there on my own.

提案: You give a clear opinion and a reason, but correct the plural form to “bicycles.” Avoid spoken fillers and repeated words such as “uh” and “saves, saves.” Also, finish the final idea: explain what cycling helps you do. You could use a linking phrase such as “For example” to introduce your personal experience.

例: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they’re affordable and convenient for short trips around the city. For example, I sometimes ride to work or to the market. It saves me time and helps me avoid traffic.

× Yes, bicycle are very popular because they're convenient and cheap for short journeys in the city.

✓ Yes, bicycles are very popular because they're convenient and cheap for short journeys in the city.

Bicycle is a singular countable noun, but the sentence refers to bikes in general and uses the plural verb are. Use the plural form bicycles to agree with are.
