Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve fluency and clarity by removing hesitations and fixing pronunciation errors (e.g., replace 'vortex' with an appropriate age), reduce repetition, and use one or two specific supporting details. Keep the response to 3–4 coherent sentences with linking words like 'so' or 'because' to show reason.

例: I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was seven. I used to ride it around the park with my friends every weekend, which made me feel independent because I could go out on my own. I have very happy memories of learning to balance and racing with them.

提案: Expand the answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for example' to make the response natural and informative. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences).

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you can see dedicated bike lanes and lots of students and office workers cycling to school or work.

× I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was vortex, uh, it was a small red bicycle with, with training wheels and I used to ride it round the park with my friends every weekend.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was four; it was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used to ride it around the park with my friends every weekend.

The original sentence contains a nonsense word 'vortex' likely intended to be the number 'four' (a past-tense narrative should use clear temporal reference). Also 'ride it round the park' is acceptable in British English but 'around' is more standard internationally; use of commas and conjunctions needed correction to join clauses properly. Suggestions: replace 'vortex' with the correct past-time word or number, use 'around' for clarity, remove duplicate fillers, and connect clauses with a semicolon or conjunction to form correct past-tense sentences.

× I, I loved it because it made me feel independent. I and, and I have happy memories of them.

✓ I loved it because it made me feel independent, and I have happy memories of it.

The phrase 'I and, and I have happy memories of them' is ungrammatical: pronoun use is inconsistent and 'them' incorrectly refers to the singular bike. The subject 'I' is repeated unnecessarily. Use the singular pronoun 'it' to refer to the bike and join ideas with 'and'. Suggestions: remove repeated fillers ('I, I' and 'and, and'), use 'it' for singular antecedent, and combine clauses into a single coherent sentence.

× Yes, they are.

✓ Yes, bicycles are popular in my country.

While 'Yes, they are' is grammatically possible as a short answer, it is vague because the pronoun 'they' could be clearer. In a speaking test fuller responses are preferred. Improving sentence structure by restating the subject provides clarity and completeness. Suggestion: give a complete sentence that repeats the noun for clarity and exam context.
