Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a clear direct answer (topic sentence), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, mention whether you had a bike, how often you used it, and a brief reason or memory to make the answer engaging.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I rode it almost every day after school to visit my friends and go to the park. Because our neighborhood was small and safe, biking was my main way of getting around and having fun.

提案: Your answer is short and somewhat relevant but lacks detail and linking words. Start with a direct opinion, then give at least one specific reason or example, and use a linking word to connect ideas. Try to use more varied vocabulary (e.g., common, widespread, a popular mode of transport) and be concise.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many people commute by bicycle because it is cheap and convenient, and there are dedicated bike lanes in most cities. As a result, cycling is a common and practical way to travel for short distances.

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

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

The student's reply repeats the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure and pragmatic error. The question asks about the past, so the correct response should use past tense ('had') and a subject ('I') with a verb. Suggestion: answer past-tense questions with a past-tense verb and include the subject, e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

× Yes, I can see many bikes on the street.

✓ Yes, I see many bikes on the street.

The student used 'can see' which emphasizes the ability to see right now; for a general statement about popularity the simple present 'see' or 'there are' is more natural. This is a present tense usage issue. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual or general facts: 'I see many bikes on the street.' Alternatively, to emphasize existence, use 'There are many bikes on the street.'
