Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no) and add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Keep it natural and within 3–5 sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it to the park every weekend. Because I practiced with my older cousin, I learned to ride without the training wheels within a month.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. Give a direct opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word (for example, because or however). Use relevant vocabulary like "commuting," "recreational," or "infrastructure."

例: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, cities have bike lanes and shared bike schemes, so students and office workers often cycle to work or school. However, in rural areas cars remain more common due to longer distances.

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

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

The original sentence is a repetition of the examiner's question rather than an answer. This is a sentence structure error (type ID 26). A proper answer to a past possession question should use past tense with subject and verb: 'I had' not 'Did you have'. Suggestion: Identify whether the sentence is a question or an answer. For answers to 'Did you...' questions, use subject + past tense verb (I had / I didn't have).

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The original sentence repeats the examiner's question rather than providing an answer. This is a sentence structure error (type ID 26). A direct answer should include the subject and the speaker's opinion: 'I think...' Use present simple for general opinions. Suggestion: When asked 'Do you think...?', begin answers with 'Yes, I think...' or 'No, I don't think...' and keep the verb in present simple for general statements.
