Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer simply repeated the examiner's question instead of responding. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, mention when you got the bike, how often you used it, or a short memory to make the response specific.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it for my seventh birthday and used it almost every day to ride to friends’ houses. Because the neighborhood was quiet and safe, I became quite confident riding on streets by the time I was ten.

提案: Your answer is direct but too brief and lacks supporting details. Improve by giving specific reasons or examples and use a linking word to connect ideas. Mention who uses bikes (students, commuters), where they are popular (cities, rural areas), or recent trends to show depth.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. For instance, many university students and office workers cycle to campus and work, and in recent years cities have added bike lanes which has encouraged more people to cycle.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question rather than answering it. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Provide a direct answer to the yes/no question and, if desired, add a confirming statement in the past tense to match the question's time frame. Use 'Yes, I did.' followed by 'I had a bike when I was a child.' to be clear.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bicycles are popular in my country.

The sentence is grammatically correct in tense and subject-verb agreement. However, 'bikes' is informal; replacing it with 'bicycles' is a stylistic improvement. No tense correction is needed (ID 6). Suggestion: keep present simple for general facts: 'Bicycles are popular in my country.'
