Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller, natural response: start with a clear topic sentence and add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Avoid one-word answers. Make sure sentences are grammatical (e.g., "Yes, I did" or "Yes, I had a bike").

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that I used to ride to school and around my neighborhood. I especially remember riding it with my friends on weekends, and it helped me feel independent.

提案: Organize your answer: give a clear opinion first, then provide two specific reasons linked with connectors (because/so/therefore). Avoid fillers and repetition, and correct grammar (e.g., 'it is' vs 'they are'). Be concise (max 5 sentences).

例: In my opinion, bicycles are not very popular in Bangladesh. This is because the country is densely populated and many roads are narrow, so cycling can be unsafe. Additionally, many people prefer motorbikes or rickshaws for convenience, so bikes are less common in cities.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked a past simple yes/no question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' In English, short affirmative responses to 'did' questions use the auxiliary 'did' plus base verb in full answers or simply 'Yes, I did.' Using 'I had' is grammatically possible but less natural for a short response and can sound awkward. Suggestion: answer 'Yes, I did.' or 'Yes, I had a bike.'

× This is a contradictory question actually.

✓ That's actually a difficult question.

'Contradictory question' is unnatural here; the speaker likely means the question is hard or complicated. This is a vocabulary/structure issue: choose a more appropriate adjective and contraction for natural spoken English. Suggestion: use 'That's actually a difficult question' or 'That's a bit complicated.'

× Uh, for me, I would say it's my personal opinion that bikes in our country, it is not so very popular.

✓ For me, I would say that bikes are not very popular in our country.

The original sentence contains redundant pronouns and awkward clause structure ('it is my personal opinion that' plus 'it is' and comma splice). Also subject-verb agreement and word order: 'bikes ... it is' is incorrect. Simplify: 'For me, I would say that bikes are not very popular in our country.' Suggestion: remove redundancy and ensure subject (bikes) matches verb (are) and maintain clear clause connectors.

× As you know, we, I'm living in Bangladesh and it is a overpopulated country here roads are very narrow, uh, not like other countries, uh.

✓ As you know, I live in Bangladesh, which is an overpopulated country where the roads are very narrow compared with other countries.

Multiple errors: mixed pronouns 'we, I'm'—choose one ('I live'). Incorrect article 'a overpopulated' should be 'an overpopulated'. Run-on sentence and punctuation errors; needs relative clause to link ideas and correct preposition 'compared with' or 'compared to'. Also 'roads are very narrow' needs subject and clause connectivity. Suggestion: use 'I live in Bangladesh, which is an overpopulated country where the roads are very narrow compared with other countries.'
