Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand the answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (for example, "because" or "so") to make it coherent. Keep it natural and avoid short, abrupt replies. Aim for 2–4 sentences total.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school and to the park almost every day because my house was close by and my parents preferred I exercise outdoors. As a result, I became quite confident cycling on busy streets.

提案: Give a clear, grammatical topic sentence and support it with specific reasons or examples. Avoid filler words (like "uh") and awkward phrases such as "too popular." Use linking words (for example, "because," "for instance," or "also") and keep the answer to 2–4 sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, cities have dedicated bike lanes and you can see many commuters cycling to work, especially during the mornings.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner's question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the past simple and requires a short affirmative answer using the auxiliary 'did' rather than repeating the main verb 'had'. Using 'I had' is not idiomatic for a short answer to a did-question. Suggestion: use 'Yes, I did.' for short answers, or 'Yes, I had a bike.' if you want to repeat the main verb in a full sentence.

× Yes, it is. It's, uh, too popular in my country.

✓ Yes, they are. They're very popular in my country.

The examiner asked about 'bikes' (plural). The student replied with singular 'it is', causing a subject-verb and number mismatch. Use a plural pronoun and plural verb: 'they are' or contraction 'they're'. Additionally, 'too popular' implies an excessive degree and may be inappropriate; 'very popular' is a more neutral choice. Suggestion: match the pronoun and verb to the plural noun in the question and choose appropriate adverb ('very' or 'quite') unless you mean 'too' in the sense of 'excessively.'
