Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct answer (yes/no or brief statement), then add one or two specific supporting details. Keep it natural, under five sentences, and use linking words like "because" or "so" when adding details.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend because my parents liked me to play outside.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of responding. Start with a clear opinion (e.g., "Yes, they are" or "No, not really"), then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word such as "because", "for example" or "however". Keep the answer concise and natural.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is heavy and bike lanes have become more common recently.

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

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

The student's response repeated the question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/communication error. The correct answer should be a declarative sentence matching the past-tense question. Use past simple 'had' to state possession in the past. 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.' depending on truth, avoiding repeating the question.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the question rather than giving an answer. This is a sentence structure/communication error. To answer a present-tense opinion question, use a present simple declarative: 'I think bikes are popular in my country.' If giving a negative opinion, say 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Ensure subject 'I' and verb 'think' are used instead of repeating the interrogative form.
