Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You misheard the examiner and repeated the question instead of answering. Begin with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question (e.g., "Yes, I did" or "No, I didn't"). Then add one or two short supporting details using linking words (for example, "because" or "so"). Keep your answer natural and no more than four sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven because my parents wanted me to be active. As a result, I learned to ride without training wheels within a week and rode it to the park almost every day.

提案: Your answer directly addresses the question but is brief and lacks specific supporting details. Improve by adding one or two concrete reasons or examples linked with connectors like "because", "for example", or "so" to make the response more informative and natural. Keep to a maximum of about four sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and many students and office workers cycle to save time and avoid traffic.

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

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

The question refers to a past time frame 'when you were a child', so the verb should be in the simple past. The student used present tense 'Do you have', which is inconsistent with the time reference. Use 'Did you have' for questions about past possession. Suggestion: use simple past auxiliary 'did' + base verb for past questions.

× Yes, of course bikes are popular in my country.

✓ Yes, of course bikes are popular in my country. (No correction needed)

This sentence correctly uses the present simple 'are' to describe a general truth about the present. It matches the examiner's question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' and requires present tense. No grammatical change is necessary. Suggestion: optionally add a comma after 'of course' for clarity: 'Yes, of course, bikes are popular in my country.'
