Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and no more than five sentences. For example mention age when you got the bike, how often you rode it, or a brief memorable event.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was eight and rode it to school most days. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I felt safe riding with my friends after classes.

提案: Again you repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. Improve by stating your opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, therefore). Remain concise and natural—no more than five sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and help avoid traffic. However, in rural areas cars are still more common due to longer distances.

× Did you have bike when you were a child?

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

The noun 'bike' is a singular countable noun and requires an article. Use the indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun when mentioning it nonspecifically. Suggestion: remember to include 'a' or 'the' with singular countable nouns (e.g., 'a bike', 'the bike').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The sentence is grammatically correct. 'Bikes' is plural and correctly used without an article, and the present simple tense 'do you think' fits the general question about popularity. No change needed.
