Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response did not answer the examiner's question and instead repeated a misheard or different sentence. To improve: listen carefully to the question and respond directly with a short, structured answer (topic sentence + 1–2 supporting details). Use simple past to describe childhood and give a specific detail (age, who gave it, how often you used it). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 4–5 sentences).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends and go to the park almost every day. Riding helped me gain confidence and stay active.

提案: This reply again shows a misunderstanding of the question (bikes vs. bats) and gives no content. To improve: ensure you understand the key word (bikes) and answer with a clear opinion sentence, followed by 1–2 specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (because, for example, so) to make your answer coherent and natural. Keep answers concise and relevant to the topic.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, cities have bike lanes and weekend markets where lots of people cycle, and bike-sharing schemes have become common in recent years.

× Did you have a bath when you're outside?

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

The student used the wrong pronoun and verb phrase: 'you're outside' is present tense and refers to 'you are' which does not match the examiner's past-tense question about childhood. This is an incorrect use of pronouns and tense. Replace with 'you were a child' to match past time reference and the intended noun 'bike' rather than 'bath'. Suggestion: pay attention to matching tense and person; use 'you were' for past reference to 'you'.

× Do you think bats are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student used 'bats' (the animal) instead of 'bikes' (the intended noun), which is a lexical/pronoun-like error causing meaning change. This is an incorrect use of pronouns/words leading to misunderstanding. Suggestion: listen for the key noun and repeat it accurately; if unsure, ask for clarification before answering.
