Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Keep answers natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and use linking words if you add details. For example, say whether you had a bike, then add a detail such as who gave it to you, how often you used it, or a brief memory.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was seven, and I rode it to visit my friends every afternoon. Because I practiced every day, I became quite confident riding in the neighborhood.

提案: You again repeated the question and included a grammatical error (“thinks”). Instead, answer directly and give specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, however, because, therefore) to connect your ideas. Keep it natural and avoid unnecessary repetition of the question.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheaper and avoid traffic, and recently the government has built more bike lanes to encourage cycling.

The verb 'think' should not take an -s after 'you'. The -s form is only for third person singular subjects (he/she/it). Use the base form 'think' with the second person subject 'you'. Suggestion: remember subject-verb agreement—only add -s for he/she/it in the simple present.
