Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct answer and add specific details, as you did here. To make the response more natural, keep the verb tense consistent when describing a bike from your childhood: change “I love it” to “I loved it.” You could also replace “Japanese model” with a more precise description if you remember the brand or style.

例: Yes, I did. It was a pink Japanese bike that my grandmother gave me as a reward for doing well in primary school. I loved it because it was easy to ride and reliable for getting to school. At weekends, I often explored the neighborhood with my friends.

提案: Answer the question directly, then support your opinion with a clear reason. Check subject–verb agreement and plural forms: say “bicycles are” and “students,” not “bicycle are” and “student.” Avoid repeating the subject in “students … they,” and replace “trans transport” with a natural phrase such as “other forms of transport.”

例: Yes, I think bicycles are more popular in the countryside than in cities. Many primary and secondary school students ride them because they may not be able to afford a motorbike. Also, bikes are convenient for traveling short distances, especially where public transport is limited.

× I think bicycle are more popular in the countryside compared to the city because student in primary school and secondary school they cannot afford to have motorbike or other trans transport.

✓ I think bicycles are more popular in the countryside than in the city because students in primary and secondary schools cannot afford motorbikes or other forms of transportation.

Use the plural bicycles to refer to bikes generally. Students and motorbikes also need plural forms because the sentence refers to people and vehicles in general. The original has an unnecessary they after students; removing it makes the clause grammatical and clear. Use other forms of transportation for a natural expression.

× Therefore using bike is more convenient.

✓ Therefore, using a bike is more convenient.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to riding any bike in general.
