Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response shows you did not understand the question and repeated it. In Part 1 you should answer directly with a short, natural sentence and add 1–2 specific supporting details. Use a topic sentence (Yes/No + brief statement), then one linking phrase and a detail. Keep answers concise (no more than 4–5 sentences).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight, and I used it to ride to my friend’s house every weekend. Because it was lightweight, I could easily ride it on narrow paths and learned to balance quickly.

提案: You misheard or misread “bikes” as “banks,” which led to repeating the question incorrectly. Listen carefully and, if unsure, ask the examiner to repeat the question once. Then give a direct opinion with a reason and a specific example. Use linking words (because, so, for example) to make your answer coherent.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and several bike-sharing schemes that lots of students and workers use.

× Did you have a? Did you have a bike?

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

The student's reply repeats the question and omits a direct answer. This is a sentence structure error because the response should be a complete statement with a verb and subject. Use past tense 'had' to match the examiner's past-tense question and provide a full affirmative sentence. Suggestion: answer directly (Yes, I had a bike...) or negatively (No, I didn't have a bike...), keeping subject-verb and tense consistent.

× Do you think banks are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student said 'banks' instead of 'bikes', which is a wrong word choice, not a grammatical form listed but it affects meaning and sentence correctness. Replace 'banks' with 'bikes' to match the examiner's question. Suggestion: listen for minimal pairs and confirm unclear words before answering; ensure the noun matches the topic.
