Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response did not answer the examiner’s question and is off-topic. For Part 1 you should give a direct, concise answer (one topic sentence) and then one or two brief supporting details. Use past tense and clear vocabulary related to childhood and bikes. Keep your response natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was seven, and I learned to ride it in our neighborhood park. Because I practiced every day, I became quite confident and could ride without training wheels within a month.

提案: Your reply repeated the examiner’s words as a question and did not express an opinion. For this question you should state your opinion clearly (present tense) and support it with a specific reason or example, using linking words (for example, because or however). Keep sentences natural and relevant to bicycles and popularity.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, in cities there are many bike lanes and rental services, which makes cycling convenient and common.

× Did you have a thought when you were at home?

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student's reply does not answer the examiner's question and uses incorrect vocabulary and structure. The examiner asked about possessing a bike in childhood (past simple). The correct response should use past simple 'had' and refer to 'a bike' and 'when I was a child.' Suggestion: answer the question directly using past simple and appropriate nouns (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child').

× Do you think about some popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student's sentence uses incorrect pronoun/word choice and omits the noun 'bikes.' The examiner asked whether bikes are popular; the student wrote 'some popular', which is ungrammatical. Correct structure is 'Do you think [subject] are/is popular in your country?' Use the noun 'bikes' and the verb 'are' for plural. Suggestion: use 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' or 'Are bikes popular in your country?'."}]}
