Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, always give a direct, concise answer (yes/no or brief statement), then add one or two specific supporting details. Keep it natural and under five sentences. Use linking words (for example, "when", "because", "so") to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was six, and I used it to ride to my friend's house every afternoon. Because our neighborhood was safe and quiet, I practiced riding often and became quite confident.

提案: Your answer gives a simple opinion but has mistakes and repetitions. Improve by correcting grammar, removing filler words, and providing a specific reason and an example. Use linking words like "because", "for example", or "so" and keep it to 2–4 sentences for clarity.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many coastal towns are flat and have bike paths. For example, where I live near the beach, people often ride bicycles to work or to the shops instead of driving, which is cheaper and more convenient.

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

✓ Yes, I did.

The student's original reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error: responses to yes/no questions should be an affirmative or negative statement. Use 'Yes, I did.' to clearly answer in the past tense; this matches the examiner's question about the past.

× Yes, because uh, I live near the beach and a lot of people enjoy reading reading a bike instead of taking a car or walk.

✓ Yes, because I live near the beach and a lot of people enjoy riding a bike instead of taking a car or walking.

Multiple issues present but limited to those listed in the provided problem types. Primary problems: incorrect use of the verb 'reading' (should be 'riding') which is a verb choice error classified under sentence structure but also relates to verb form; missing gerund 'walking' instead of bare verb 'walk' (verb + -ing form); and slight preposition/verb choice with 'taking a car' is acceptable but more natural is 'taking the car' or 'driving a car'. Corrections made: 'riding a bike' uses the correct verb for using a bicycle; 'walking' uses the gerund form after 'instead of'. Also removed filler 'uh' for clarity and kept present tense 'I live' because the question asks about popularity generally. Suggestion: practice common collocations (ride a bike, go for a walk) and use gerunds after 'instead of'. Additionally, avoid repeating words and reduce fillers.
