Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Use correct tense and complete sentence structure. For example, say whether you had a bike and give a brief detail (who bought it, how often you used it, or a short memory). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 4–5 sentences).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was eight, and I rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day. I remember learning to cycle with my friends in the park, which was a lot of fun.

提案: Start with a clear opinion sentence (yes or no) and then give specific reasons and examples using linking words (for example, because, so, therefore). Use correct grammar and plural/singular forms, and avoid filler words. Keep answers coherent and limit to 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use motorcycles or bicycles to commute to work and run errands in crowded cities. As a result, bike lanes and markets for used bikes are widespread.

× Do I have a?

✓ Did I have a bike?

The examiner asked a past-tense question ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should respond in past tense using the auxiliary 'did' for questions about the past. The original 'Do I have a?' mixes present-tense 'do' with a past context and omits the object 'bike', making the sentence ungrammatical and unclear. Suggestion: use 'Did I have a bike?' or better, answer directly 'Yes, I had a bike' or 'No, I didn't have a bike.'

× Nearest bikes are most popular in our country.

✓ Bicycles are very popular in my country.

'Nearest bikes' is incorrect—'nearest' is not appropriate here. 'Most popular' is acceptable but awkward with 'nearest.' The student likely meant to say 'bicycles are very popular.' Use the general noun 'bicycles' and an appropriate quantifier or degree word such as 'very' or 'quite.' Also adjust 'our country' to 'my country' to match personal perspective in speaking tests. Suggestion: say 'Bicycles are very popular in my country.'

× Peoples are using uh, lots of bike than local boss.

✓ People are using a lot more bikes than local buses.

Multiple issues: 'Peoples' is incorrect plural of 'people' (people is already plural). 'Lots of bike' mixes singular 'bike' with quantity; use 'a lot more bikes' or 'many bikes.' The comparative phrase 'than local boss' is incorrect — likely intended 'local buses.' 'Are using' can be kept as present continuous if describing a trend, but 'use' is also possible. Suggestion: 'People are using a lot more bikes than local buses.'
