Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Provide a fuller response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Explain briefly why you didn’t have a bike (e.g., family situation, safety, preference) and use a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

例: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one at the time, so I usually walked to school instead. As a result, I developed a habit of walking rather than cycling.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (subject-verb agreement), and add specific supporting details or examples. Use a linking word to connect the general statement to reasons or evidence (e.g., because, for example, therefore). Try to avoid absolute words like “everybody” unless you can justify them.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips. For example, students and shopkeepers often cycle to work since bikes are inexpensive and convenient, and there are many bike lanes in the city.

× Yes, I think bike are popular in our country because everybody use bike when they go out.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because everybody uses bikes when they go out.

There are two related plural and agreement errors. 'Bike' should be plural 'bikes' to match the general plural idea. 'Are' is correct with plural 'bikes' but the original had mismatch; the verb 'use' should be 'uses' because the subject 'everybody' is singular and takes a third-person singular verb. Also 'bike' after 'uses' should be plural 'bikes' to be consistent. Suggestion: make nouns plural when speaking about things in general (bikes) and use singular verb forms with indefinite pronouns like 'everybody' (everybody uses).
