Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct, natural answer with a topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Keep it under five sentences and use linking words if adding details (for example: "Yes, I did. ...").

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used to ride it to my friend's house every afternoon. Because I rode it so often, I became quite confident and learned to cycle without training wheels within a few months.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner’s question instead of giving an opinion. Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example: "Yes, I think so because...").

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people cycle to work to avoid traffic, and several towns have invested in bike lanes and rental schemes, which has made cycling more convenient and safer.

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

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/pragmatic error. Provide a proper past-tense declarative answer matching the question's past-time frame: use past simple 'had' for possession. Also include subject and verb to form a complete sentence.

× Do you think bike are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The noun 'bike' is singular but the verb 'are' requires a plural subject. Change 'bike' to the plural 'bikes' to agree with 'are'. Alternatively, you could use 'a bike is' for singular. Ensure subject-verb number agreement: plural subject with plural verb, singular subject with singular verb.
