Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your reply repeats the examiner's question and is not a direct answer. To improve, answer clearly with a topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural, concise (maximum 5 sentences), and relevant vocabulary.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven, and I rode it to school most days. Because the roads were safe in my neighborhood, my parents let me cycle alone, which helped me become more independent.

提案: You simply repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an opinion. Start with a clear statement (e.g., "Yes, they are" or "No, not very"), then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words like 'because' or 'for example.' Keep it natural and concise.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes, so cycling is a convenient and affordable option.

× If you have a bike when you were a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The original sentence is a fragment and mixes present conditional 'If you have' with past time 'when you were a child', causing a sentence structure and tense mismatch. Replace with a simple past declarative to answer the past-tense question. Suggestion: use 'I had' to indicate possession in the past and match 'when I was a child.' Additionally, change the subject from 'you' to 'I' to respond about the student.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure/response error rather than grammatical form, so correct by providing a proper declarative answer that fits the present-tense question. Start with 'Yes' or 'No' as appropriate and keep the present simple 'are popular' to match the question's tense.
