Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response merely repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no or short statement), then add one or two supporting details (when, who gave it, how often you rode it, a short memory). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences) and use simple linking words like “and” or “when.”

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present, and I rode it almost every day after school. I remember learning to ride in the park and falling a few times, but I quickly got better.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of giving your opinion. Improve by stating your view clearly (e.g., “Yes, they are” or “Not very popular”), then give specific reasons or examples (urban cycling, bike lanes, commuting habits, or cultural preferences). Use linking words like “because,” “however,” or “for example” to make your answer coherent and stick to a maximum of 5 sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles to commute short distances because there are dedicated bike lanes and parking areas. However, in rural areas cars are more common because distances are longer.

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

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student's original reply repeated the examiner's question and did not provide a proper answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The question asks about past possession, so the correct response uses the past simple affirmative form 'I had.' Provide a short direct answer and optionally add extra detail: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' This follows subject-verb order and matches the past-tense context.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student's original reply repeated the examiner's question and did not provide an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). To answer a present-opinion question, use a subject + verb structure: 'I think' followed by the clause. You can also start with 'Yes' or 'No' and then give a reason: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because...' This matches present-tense usage and provides a clear response.
