Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response (yes/no or short statement), then add 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under 5 sentences. Mention the type of bike, when you got it, and a brief memory or reason if possible.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I learned to ride in the park near our house. Because it had training wheels at first, I felt safe and quickly gained confidence, so by the next summer I was riding without them.

提案: Again, you repeated the question rather than answering. Start with a clear opinion (yes/no or partly), then support it with specific reasons and linking words (for example, because, therefore, however). Mention contexts where bikes are common (commuting, leisure, rural areas) and any trends you’ve observed.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular, especially in cities, because many people use them to commute short distances and avoid traffic. For example, there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes in major cities, although in rural areas cars are still more common.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of providing an answer, resulting in a sentence that does not respond to the prompt (sentence structure error). Provide a proper declarative sentence in the past tense to match the question. Use subject + past tense verb (I had) and an object (a bike). Example improvement: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question rather than answering it, producing an inappropriate sentence for the context. To respond, use the present simple to express current opinion: subject + think + that-clause or direct statement. Example improvement: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'
