Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, give a direct topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details (age, how often you used it, or a brief memory). Keep it natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences) and use linking words such as "and" or "so" to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was eight and rode it to school and to my friends' houses almost every day. Because I rode so often, I became quite confident cycling on busy streets.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner's question rather than answering. To improve, start with a clear opinion (yes/no/partly), then support it with specific reasons and an example — for example mention urban commuting, recreational use, or local bike-sharing schemes. Use linking words like "because", "for example", or "however" to make the reply coherent and concise.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, cities have bike-sharing programs and dedicated lanes, so more commuters choose cycling to avoid traffic.

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

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

The original student response simply repeated the examiner's question and therefore lacked a proper answer (sentence without a verb or appropriate subject-content). This is a sentence structure/response error: the reply should be a full declarative sentence matching the past tense of the question. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' for a completed situation in childhood and include an appropriate subject and auxiliary only if making a negative or question. Example improvements: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' Use contractions if informal: 'No, I didn't.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student again repeated the examiner's question instead of producing a proper answer. The reply should be a complete sentence that matches the present simple tense of the question. Use 'I think' plus the clause 'bikes are popular in my country' to state an opinion. If disagreeing, use 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Ensure subject-verb order appropriate for a statement (subject before verb) rather than repeating a question form.
