Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be direct, concise and avoid hesitation. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I did.”), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Replace fillers (uh, um) and avoid self-contradiction (do vs did).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it with my friends around the neighborhood. Because the area was quiet, we practiced tricks and raced each other, which helped me gain confidence on two wheels.

提案: Answer directly and give specific reasons with linking words. Use correct grammar (e.g., 'many people have bikes' not 'many bikes are popular') and avoid repeating fillers. Provide two clear reasons and an example or brief consequence.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap to buy and easy to park. For example, many people use scooters or motorbikes to commute to work, which saves time in heavy traffic and reduces fuel costs.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about a past time ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Do' is present tense; use 'did' to match the question's past context.

× I had a bike when I was in my child, uh, when I was in my childhood and uh, I used to, uh, I used to play uh, with my friends on it and uh, sorry, I don't know the answer.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it and play with my friends.

The original sentence contains awkward phrasing and repetition ('in my child', 'in my childhood') and filler words. 'In my child' is incorrect; use 'a child'. Split into two clear sentences and remove fillers. Use 'ride it and play with my friends' for natural collocation.

× Yes uh, many bikes are popular in my country because uh everyone here do have vehicles and uh, sometimes uh, it helps everyone to do their work fast and uh bikes are also popular because uh.

✓ Yes, many bikes are popular in my country because everyone here has vehicles, and sometimes they help people do their work faster.

Mixed tense and agreement errors: 'everyone here do have' is incorrect — 'everyone' is singular and requires 'has' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'they help people' or 'they help people do their work faster' for clarity and correct adverb ('faster') instead of 'fast'. Remove trailing unfinished phrase.
