Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct, concise answer (1–2 sentences) with a short supporting detail. Use topic sentence first, then one supporting detail with a linking word (e.g., “because” or “so”).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. Because my parents lived near a park, I rode it every weekend to play with friends.

提案: Again, you turned the question back rather than answering. Directly state your opinion, then add one specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., “because”, “for example”, “however”). Keep it to no more than 3–4 short sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in many cities in my country because they are cheap and convenient. For example, in my city many people cycle to work to avoid traffic and save money.

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

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

The original is a question that repeats the examiner's question; the student should answer. This is a sentence structure error because the response lacks proper verb and subject alignment for an answer. Use past simple 'had' to match the time reference 'when you were a child'. Provide a full sentence answer like 'Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child.' or a negative 'No, I didn't.' Also avoid repeating the question form when answering.

× Did you use bikes which are popular in your cities?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your city?

The student's reply uses past auxiliary 'Did' and an awkward relative clause 'which are popular in your cities', causing tense and meaning mismatch with the examiner's present-tense question. The examiner asked about current popularity, so use present simple: 'Do you think bikes are popular in your city?' If the student wants to say bikes are popular, reply: 'Yes, bikes are popular in my city.' Use singular 'city' to match 'your city' and 'do' for present simple questions; avoid mixing past auxiliary with present-tense content.
