Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response did not answer the examiner’s question; instead you repeated or asked a different question. To improve, always listen carefully and begin with a direct statement that answers the question (e.g., “Yes, I had a bike” or “No, I didn’t”). Then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (for example, “because,” “so,” or “when”). Keep answers natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it to school and around my neighborhood, so I became quite confident riding on busy streets. Because my parents bought it for my tenth birthday, I rode it almost every day until I was a teenager.

提案: You did not provide an answer; you repeated the question. Improve by responding directly with an opinion (Yes/No/Partly) followed by specific reasons and a linking word to connect points. Use relevant vocabulary (commute, cycling infrastructure, traffic). Limit to up to five sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities with good cycling lanes. Many people use them to commute short distances because it’s faster than driving in heavy traffic, and bike-sharing schemes have also encouraged cycling. However, popularity varies by region where rural areas rely more on motorbikes.

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

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

The student's reply repeats the examiner's question and changes the object to 'bag', which makes the response irrelevant and ungrammatical in context. The expected form is a short answer in the past tense that matches the examiner's question about having a bike. Use a past simple verb (had) and the correct noun (bike). 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.' to match the question's tense and meaning.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student's reply simply repeats the examiner's question rather than answering it. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic issue: an answer should affirm or deny and provide brief support. Maintain present simple tense (think/are) to match the question. Suggestion: answer with 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.' and optionally add a reason.
