Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be clearer and more coherent. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using correct tense and linking words. Avoid unclear phrases (e.g. “once it's shot”) and unnecessary repetition. Also correct grammar: use past tense consistently when talking about childhood and choose precise vocabulary.

例: Yes, I did. My father bought me a red bike when I was seven, and I rode it every afternoon after school. Because I practiced a lot, I became confident riding on busy streets and enjoyed spending time outdoors.

提案: Give a direct answer and follow with specific reasons or examples linked by a connector. Avoid short vague responses; add one or two details such as who uses bikes, why they are popular, or where people ride them.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, students and office workers often cycle to campus or nearby shops, especially in cities with dedicated bike lanes.

× Yes, I did when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I did.

The original sentence repeats the time reference 'when I was a child' after the examiner's question which already establishes past context; however this phrase isn't wrong grammatically. The main issue is redundancy rather than tense. To keep answers concise in a speaking test, respond 'Yes, I did.' If you keep the clause, use 'Yes, I did when I was a child.' which is grammatically acceptable. Recommendation: omit unnecessary repetition for clarity.

× I have a bike from my dad and I used to ride on the bicycle for a long time once I get out of the phone.

✓ I had a bike from my dad and I used to ride the bicycle for a long time when I got off my phone.

Multiple tense and preposition issues: 'have' should be past 'had' to match 'used to'; 'ride on the bicycle' is unnatural — use 'ride the bicycle'; 'once I get out of the phone' mixes tenses and uses wrong preposition/verb: 'get out of' is for exiting physical objects, and 'get off my phone' or 'stop using my phone' is correct in past tense 'when I got off my phone.' Suggestion: keep past tense consistently and use correct verbs and prepositions.

× So I would say always like about it.

✓ So I would always say that I liked it.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and unclear phrasing. 'Would say always like about it' is ungrammatical. In past context, use 'would' plus base verb for habitual past, and 'like' should be past 'liked' or express preference: 'I would always say that I liked it.' Suggestion: arrange subject + modal + adverb + verb + object clearly.

× Once it's shot, never come back.

✓ Once it's broken, it never works again.

This sentence is unclear and uses wrong vocabulary: 'shot' is not appropriate for a bicycle breaking. Also missing subject in 'never come back.' Use a clear subject and verb: 'it never works again' or 'it never comes back into use.' Suggestion: choose accurate verbs and complete clauses.

× Yeah, I think so.

✓ Yes, I think so.

'Yeah' is informal but not ungrammatical. For a formal speaking test answer, 'Yes' is preferable. Tense 'think' is correctly present for a general opinion. Suggestion: use 'Yes' instead of 'Yeah' for register appropriateness.

× It's quite popular in my country, so.

✓ Bicycles are quite popular in my country.

Using 'It's' is vague; refer clearly to 'bicycles.' Also trailing 'so' is incomplete. The present tense 'are' correctly matches a general truth. Suggestion: state the subject explicitly and avoid sentence fragments.
