Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Give a direct topic sentence about your own experience, then add one or two short supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "but"). Keep the answer natural and within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that I learned to ride when I was six because my parents wanted me to be active. I used it to go to the park and visit friends, so I spent a lot of time practicing my balance and turning.

提案: Give a clear, complete opinion rather than vague phrases like "a bit" and avoid filler words such as "uh." Support your opinion with specific reasons and a brief example, using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "therefore"). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I think 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 shared-bike schemes, so commuting by bike has become more convenient and common.

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

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure and pragmatic error. The expected response should be a declarative past-tense sentence. Use past simple 'had' for possession in the past and a subject 'I' to form a proper answer. Suggestion: begin answers to Yes/No questions with a full declarative sentence when providing information (e.g., 'I had a bike when I was a child.'). Grammar_problem_type_id:26

× Yeah, I think the bikes are a bit popular in my country because, uh.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are a bit popular in my country because...

Using the definite article 'the' before 'bikes' makes the sentence refer to a specific group of bikes rather than bikes in general. When speaking about a general category, omit the article: 'bikes are popular.' Also, 'a bit popular' is informal but acceptable; for clarity you can say 'quite popular' or 'somewhat popular.' Suggestion: drop 'the' when generalizing (e.g., 'I think bikes are quite popular in my country.'). Grammar_problem_type_id:22
