Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a full, direct response (topic sentence) and add a brief specific detail. Avoid trailing words like “but” which leave the answer incomplete. Use one or two linking words if you expand (e.g., “because” or “so”), keep total to no more than five sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels because my parents wanted me to learn safely. I rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day.

提案: Answer directly and formally, avoiding slang like “bruh” in an exam. Support your opinion with one or two specific reasons or examples, and use linking words (e.g., “because,” “however,” “for example”) to make your reply coherent and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and to avoid traffic. For example, in cities you can see bike lanes and shared bike services that many commuters use.

× Yes, but.

✓ Yes, I did, but I don't remember much about it.

The original reply 'Yes, but.' is a sentence fragment lacking a verb and clear meaning; this fits sentence structure errors (ID 26). The examiner asked 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' which requires a past-tense response. A complete answer should include a subject and verb in past tense ('I did') and, if adding a contrasting idea, a brief clause ('but I don't remember much about it'). Suggestion: use full sentences with a subject and verb and keep tense consistent with the question.

× Yeah, I think so, bruh.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

Using 'bruh' is informal slang and inappropriate in a formal speaking test; it also makes the sentence unprofessional. This falls under incorrect use of pronouns/word choice (ID 12) and sentence structure. The examiner asked 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' so a clear, formal response is 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: avoid slang in test situations and repeat the subject for clarity; keep language formal and directly answer the question.
