Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a clear, direct response (topic sentence) then add one or two brief supporting details. Keep it natural and within 3–5 sentences. Use linking words like 'and' or 'but' to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was six, and I used to ride it every day around our neighborhood. It helped me become more independent, and I have many happy memories of learning to ride with my father.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. State your opinion directly, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as 'because', 'however' or 'for example' to make your answer coherent.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are bike lanes and rental services, although they are less common in rural areas where people prefer cars.

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

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

The original student reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error: answers to past simple questions should use past simple verbs. Correction uses 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' which provides a complete response. Suggestion: when asked about past possession use 'I had...' or 'No, I didn't have...' and keep verb tense consistent (past simple).

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the examiner's question rather than answering; this is a present-tense usage and sentence structure issue. A natural answer uses present simple: 'I think bikes are popular in my country.' If giving a negative answer use 'No, I don't think...' or add supporting details. Suggestion: respond with subject + present simple verb (I think / I don't think) and then the clause.
