Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Clarify the meaning and answer directly with a clear topic sentence. Correct grammar and avoid asking a question back. Give a brief personal detail and one supporting detail using a linking word. For example, state whether you had one, then add where or how often you used it.

例: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood with friends, and as a result I became quite confident cycling on busy streets.

提案: Give a fuller, more natural response: start with a topic sentence, then support it with a specific reason and an example. Use linking words (however, because, for example) and avoid filler sounds like “umm.”

例: Yes, bicycles are fairly common, but motorbikes are more popular overall because they are faster and more convenient for commuting. For example, many people in my city use motorbikes to get to work quickly, especially during rush hour.

× Did you help by when you were a child?

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

The student responded with an incorrect sentence that does not match the examiner's question. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The original uses 'help by', which is ungrammatical and meaningless in this context. The correct response should mirror the question's verb 'have' in simple past: 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' Suggestion: listen to the question and repeat its key verbs and nouns in your answer; practice forming simple past yes/no questions and short answers to ensure you use the same verb.

× Yes, but I think motorbike is more popular than, umm, bicycle.

✓ Yes, but I think motorbikes are more popular than bicycles.

This sentence shows singular/plural mismatches (ID 1). When making general statements about types or groups, use plural nouns and match the verb: 'motorbikes are' and 'bicycles' (plural). The original used singular 'motorbike' with 'is' implied and singular 'bicycle', which is unnatural for a general comparison. Suggestion: use plural nouns for generalizations (motorbikes are more popular than bicycles) and ensure subject-verb agreement.
