Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Expand your answer to give a clear topic sentence and at least one specific supporting detail. Use linking words if you add more than one idea. For example, say whether you owned a bike, who it belonged to, how often you used it, and a short reason or memory to make the answer natural and informative.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was seven, and I used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house. Because the roads near our home were quiet, I felt safe riding around the neighborhood, and I remember learning to ride without training wheels in the local park.

提案: Answer directly and clearly, naming your country and giving a reason or two. Avoid unclear phrases and hesitations. Use linking words such as “because” or “for example” to organize your points and provide specific supporting details (e.g., use for commuting, sport, or recreation).

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for commuting and short trips. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and public bike-sharing schemes, so both students and office workers often cycle to work or school.

× Uh, popular country in German.

✓ Uh, Are bikes popular in Germany?

The student's reply is a fragment and does not form a complete sentence; it also uses incorrect word order and an incorrect country name form ('German' is an adjective or language, 'Germany' is the country noun). This falls under sentence structure errors (type 26). Suggestion: Form a full sentence that matches the examiner's question and uses the correct country noun. For example, start with a subject and verb (Are bikes popular) followed by the correct country name (in Germany). Also avoid using filler 'Uh' at the start of a short answer unless needed; if you keep it, place it before the full sentence: 'Uh, are bikes popular in Germany?'.
