Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a topic sentence (yes/no or short statement), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep your answer natural and within 3–4 sentences. For example, mention when you got the bike, who gave it to you, how often you used it, or a short memory to make it concrete.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle my parents bought me for my eighth birthday, and I rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day. Because I practiced a lot, I became confident riding on busy streets by the time I was ten.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. To improve, give a clear topic sentence stating your view, then support it with specific reasons and a linking word (e.g., "because," "however," "for example"). Mention evidence such as transportation habits, cycling infrastructure, or who uses bikes most to add credibility and detail.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is heavy and there are dedicated bike lanes in several areas. However, they are less common in rural regions where distances are longer and people prefer motorbikes or cars.

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

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

The original student response exactly repeated the examiner's question, so it lacked a proper answer (sentence without a verb / sentence structure error). Provide a complete past-tense answer to match the question. Use 'had' for past possession and include a subject 'I' and an auxiliary structure if needed. Suggestion: answer directly in past tense: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

× 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 instead of answering. Provide a clear present-tense response using first person 'I' and the verb 'think' in base form for present simple. Keep 'are popular' for the present-state description. Suggestion: answer directly in present simple: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'
