Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: The student miscomprehended the question and repeated it, which shows a listening or confidence issue. For improvement: 1) Listen to the examiner and answer directly with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No) followed by one or two supporting details. 2) Keep answers natural and concise (max 3–4 short sentences). 3) If you didn’t hear the question, politely ask the examiner to repeat it once. Practice by listening to short spoken questions and answering immediately to build confidence.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that my parents bought me for my seventh birthday. I used it every day to ride to my friends’ houses and to practice in the park.

提案: The response is unclear, grammatically incorrect, and lacks specific supporting details. For improvement: 1) Begin with a clear opinion (Yes/No/I think so) and then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (because, for example, so). 2) Use correct collocations (e.g., “I agree” not “I’m agreed”) and avoid filler phrases. 3) Provide concrete examples or comparisons (e.g., cities vs countryside) to make the answer more informative and natural. Practice forming short, connected sentences with linking words.

例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in big cities there are bike lanes and rental schemes, so commuting by bike is convenient and affordable.

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

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

This sentence contains a redundancy and incorrect repetition ('when you were where when you were a child') which makes it ungrammatical. The error fits 'Sentence structure errors' (ID 26). Remove the repeated phrase to form a clear question that matches the examiner's prompt. Suggestion: keep the structure 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' which correctly uses the past simple question form for a past situation.

× Yes, I'm agreed.

✓ Yes, I agree.

Saying 'I'm agreed' incorrectly uses the adjective 'agreed' with the verb to be. Native English speakers say 'I agree' to express agreement. This is an incorrect use of pronouns/verb form and copular construction, best classified under 'Incorrect use of pronouns' (ID 12) because it involves the subject-verb expression. Use the present simple 'I agree' to state an opinion.

× In my country like it's more it's more popular because.

✓ In my country, bicycles are more popular now than before.

The original is disfluent and has repetition ('it's more it's more') and an incomplete clause ending with 'because.' This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). To answer the question about popularity, use a complete comparative sentence: 'bicycles are more popular now than before' or 'bicycles are more popular than they used to be.' Include a clear subject and verb and avoid filler words like 'like' in this context.

× Just no far distant when people.

✓ A few years ago, people did not use them as much.

This fragment is ungrammatical and incomplete; it lacks a clear subject-verb structure and time expression. Classify as sentence structure errors (ID 26). Rephrase to a full sentence that clarifies the time frame and the action: 'A few years ago, people did not use them as much.' If you mean 'not far in the past,' use 'not long ago' or 'a few years ago.'
