Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a good Part 1 reply, give a clear direct answer (yes/no), add one or two specific supporting details, and keep it under five sentences. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I did. I got a red bicycle for my seventh birthday and rode it to school every day with my friends. Because the roads near my house were quiet, I felt safe practicing tricks and improving my balance.

提案: You repeated the examiner instead of giving your opinion. For this opinion question, state your view directly, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as "because", "however", or "for example" to make your answer cohesive and natural.

例: I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and avoid traffic, although car ownership is growing in suburban areas.

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

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error: a question requires an answer. Use past tense 'had' to match 'were' and convey possession in the past. Suggestion: answer directly (Yes/No) and add a brief supporting clause, e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student echoed the examiner's question instead of providing an answer. This is a present tense response: use 'I think' plus present 'are' to state an opinion. Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes' or 'No' and a supporting explanation, e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'
