Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Pronunciation and tense are incorrect. You misheard the examiner and repeated the question back with wrong words (“bite” instead of “bike”) and wrong tense (“do you have” instead of “did you have”). To improve: 1) Listen carefully to the examiner and repeat the exact question if unsure. 2) Use correct past tense for childhood experiences (did you have…). 3) Give a short direct topic sentence, then one or two supporting details (max 5 sentences). For example, say whether you had a bike, how often you used it, and one specific memory. Practice minimal pairs (bike/bite) and past-tense forms.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school most days and practiced tricks with my friends on weekends. For example, I remember learning to balance on one wheel in the park when I was ten.

提案: Answer is unclear and grammatically incorrect. You mentioned a place (Dubai) but did not directly answer whether bikes are popular, and the sentence structure is confusing. To improve: 1) Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question (Yes/No/Somewhat). 2) Provide 1–2 specific reasons or examples and use linking words (because, however, for example). 3) Keep sentences concise and use correct grammar (subject-verb order). For instance, say whether bikes are common, then explain where they are more or less popular and why.

例: Bikes are not very popular across my country, although they are used in some cities like Dubai for recreation. For example, people in Dubai often cycle along the seafront for exercise, but in many other areas cars and taxis are more common because of the heat and long distances.

× Do you have a bite when you were a child?

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

The student used 'Do you have' which is present tense while the question asks about the past. This is a tense error; 'did' is the correct auxiliary for simple past questions. Also 'bite' is a spelling error for 'bike'. Use 'Did you have' + base verb for past simple questions about possession. Example: 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'

× I know Dubai in my country but I don't know is one of the popular.

✓ I know Dubai is in my country, but I don't know if it is one of the popular places for biking.

The original sentence has multiple problems: incorrect word order and missing conjunction/connector for the clause 'I don't know if...' and awkward phrase 'one of the popular.' The tense reference is present, so use 'I know Dubai is in my country' and then 'I don't know if it is one of the popular places for biking.' This adds the necessary 'if' to introduce the subordinate clause, supplies the verb 'is' in the correct position, and clarifies what 'popular' refers to. Suggestions: use 'if' after 'I don't know' to introduce yes/no content, ensure subject-verb order is correct ('it is'), and specify the noun after 'popular' (for example 'places for biking').
