Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, give a direct topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add 1–2 specific supporting details (e.g., age when you got it, how you used it, or a short memory). Use one linking word if adding details (for example, “and” or “so”). Keep it natural and no more than 3–4 short sentences.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and rode it to visit my friends every afternoon. Because I practiced a lot, I became quite confident riding on busy streets.

提案: You repeated the examiner's question and changed a word incorrectly (“proper” instead of “popular”), which shows misunderstanding. Answer directly with your opinion (yes/no or partly) and support it with specific reasons or examples (e.g., city infrastructure, weather, commuting habits). Use linking words like “because” or “however” to connect ideas. Keep answers concise and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes in cities. However, they are less common in rural areas where distances are longer and public transport is limited.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question, producing an ill-formed answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). To answer a past yes/no question, use a past-tense declarative sentence: subject + past verb (I had). Include 'Yes' or 'No' if responding directly. Suggestion: respond with '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 bikes are proper in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student used 'proper' incorrectly to ask about general usage or acceptance; 'proper' describes correctness or suitability, not popularity. This is an incorrect adjective choice (ID 13). The examiner's question uses 'popular' to ask whether many people use bikes. Suggestion: use 'popular' when asking about frequency or commonness: 'Are bikes popular in your country?' or 'Do people in your country often ride bikes?'.
