Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering and used incorrect tense. Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, use correct past tense, keep it concise (≤5 sentences), and add one or two specific supporting details linked logically (use linking words such as "and" or "because").

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, and I learned to ride it in my neighborhood park. Because my parents lived nearby, they often rode with me for safety, which helped me gain confidence quickly.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. Provide a direct topic sentence stating your view, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words like "because", "for example", or "however". Keep responses natural and within five sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing programs, which make cycling convenient. However, in rural areas cars are still more common due to longer distances.

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

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

The student mixed past simple question form with a present-tense subordinate clause. The question 'Did you have' is past tense, so the time clause must also be past ('when you were a child'). Use 'were' (past of 'are') to match the past time reference. Suggestion: Keep time references consistent; when using past simple for the main clause, use past tense in time clauses (e.g., 'when I was a child').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already correct. The main verb 'do think' is present simple and the complement 'bikes are popular' correctly uses present simple to state a general fact. No change is needed. Suggestion: None; the sentence correctly matches present-tense usage for general opinions.
