Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer responds directly and is grammatically correct, but it is too brief to develop the conversation. Add one specific detail, such as what your bike looked like, where you rode it, or how you felt about it.

例: Yes, I did. It was a small blue bike, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

提案: You give a clear opinion and try to explain it, but correct “a bite” to “a bike,” use “bikes” or “they” to match the plural subject, and keep the tense consistent. Also, make the connection between childhood bikes and commuting clearer. Use a linking phrase such as “For example” to add a relevant detail.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. Many children get a bike from their parents, and adults often use bicycles to commute because they are affordable and convenient.

× Yes, I think it is very popular in my country because we usually get a bite from our parents when we were young and we use bike to get to work.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular in my country because we usually got a bike from our parents when we were young, and we use bikes to get to work.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular in my country because we usually got a bike from our parents when we were young, and we use bikes to get to work.

The phrase when we were young refers to a past period, so the past-tense verb got is appropriate instead of get. Use past-tense verbs for actions that happened during that time.

× Yes, I think it is very popular in my country because we usually get a bite from our parents when we were young and we use bike to get to work.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular in my country because we usually got a bike from our parents when we were young, and we use bikes to get to work.

Bike is a countable noun, so the singular form needs a determiner, such as a. When referring to bikes in general, use the plural form bikes: we use bikes to get to work.
