Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct answer (yes/no) then add one or two specific supporting details. Use a linking word to connect ideas and keep it natural. Avoid repeating the examiner's question and keep it under five sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for me when I was six, and I used to ride it in the park every weekend. Because I practiced regularly, I learned to ride without the training wheels within a few months.

提案: Provide a clear opinion and follow it with specific reasons or examples. Use a linking word like 'because' or 'for example' to make your answer coherent and informative. Keep the response concise (1–4 sentences) and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in cities. For example, there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes in several major cities, which encourages more people to cycle.

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

✓ Yes, I did.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/response error. The expected answer should be a short response matching the past tense question. Use 'Yes, I did' for affirmative or 'No, I didn't' for negative. This corrects the structure by providing a subject and auxiliary verb appropriate for a past simple yes/no question.

× Yes.

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

The one-word reply 'Yes.' is grammatically valid but too brief and does not fully answer the follow-up question which asks for an opinion. A complete sentence with subject and verb ('I think') matches the present-tense question and provides a clear, natural response. Suggestion: expand short answers by adding a subject and verb and, if possible, a brief reason (e.g., 'because many people commute by bicycle').
