Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Bạn đã nhầm từ và phát âm ("buy" thay vì "bike") nên câu hỏi không rõ. Khi trả lời, hãy nói trực tiếp, dùng một câu chủ đề ngắn và nếu cần thêm thông tin thì tối đa 2-3 câu phụ. Chú ý phát âm từ khóa (bike) và ngữ điệu câu hỏi để tránh hiểu nhầm.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was seven, and I used it every day to visit my friends and ride around the neighborhood.

提案: Câu trả lời lặp và chứa nhiều tiếng lấp lửng (umm, yeah) khiến thiếu tự nhiên. Nội dung có ý chính nhưng cần cấu trúc rõ ràng: bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề trả lời trực tiếp, sau đó dùng liên từ (for example, however, nowadays) để bổ sung chi tiết cụ thể và kết luận ngắn. Hạn chế dài hơn 4-5 câu và sửa ngữ pháp (use → useS; they use bikes).

例: Yes, I think bikes used to be very popular in my country. For example, a few years ago many students rode bikes to school because it was cheap and convenient. However, nowadays fewer people use bikes because there are more motorcycles and cars, especially in cities.

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

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

The student used the word 'buy' which is a verb meaning 'to purchase' instead of 'bike' which is the noun referring to the bicycle. This is a word choice/spelling error that changes the sentence meaning. Suggestion: listen carefully to the examiner's word and check that the noun form is used; practice minimal pairs and common nouns to avoid swapping similar-sounding words.

× I think yes. A few years ago the bikes were so popular in my country because all the kids, all the students in my hometown, they use bike in order to go to school.

✓ I think so. A few years ago bikes were very popular in my country because all the kids, all the students in my hometown, used bikes to go to school.

Multiple grammar issues mapped to allowed types: 'I think yes' is awkward; 'the bikes' -> 'bikes' (general plural) and tense agreement: 'they use bike' should be past tense and plural: 'they used bikes'. Also 'in order to' is wordy; 'to' is natural. Suggestions: Use 'I think so' for agreement; when talking about past states, keep past tense consistently ('were' and 'used'); use plural noun form with plural subject ('used bikes').

× But nowadays?

✓ But what about nowadays?

'But nowadays?' is incomplete and lacks a clear structure; the speaker is asking a follow-up question fragment. A complete question is 'But what about nowadays?' or a statement: 'But nowadays they are less common.' Suggestion: when prompting contrast with the present, use 'What about nowadays?' or complete the idea with a full sentence.
