Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response did not answer the question. In Part 1 you must respond directly with a topic sentence and then add 1–2 short supporting details. Keep answers natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and use linking words if you add details. For this question say whether you had a bike, give a brief reason or memory, and optionally mention how often you rode it.

例: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. I used to ride it to visit friends and to the park almost every afternoon, which helped me feel independent. Because the roads near my house were quiet, I learned to ride safely and confidently.

提案: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. Provide a clear opinion sentence first, then add 1–2 specific supporting details (reasons, examples, or a brief comparison). Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to make your answer coherent.

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in cities. For example, in larger towns there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-share schemes, which makes cycling a convenient and affordable option.

× Good job!

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The student replied with 'Good job!', which does not answer the examiner's question. This is a sentence structure error because the response lacks the required subject and verb relating to the question. To correct it, provide a complete declarative sentence matching the past-tense question (Did you have a bike when you were a child?). Use past-tense 'had' for a completed state. Example: 'I had a bike when I was a child.' Suggestion: Listen to the question, identify the required tense and information, and respond with a full sentence containing subject + verb + object as needed.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering, which is a sentence structure error because it fails to provide the required information. The examiner asked for an opinion in present tense, so reply with a present-tense statement. Start with 'Yes' or 'No' if appropriate, then give a reason: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: When asked an opinion question, answer directly and then support it with one or two reasons (e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient.').
