Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You did not answer the question. To score well you must give a direct response (topic sentence) and then one or two supporting details. Keep answers natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and use linking words like “and” or “but” when adding details. Include specifics (e.g., age, who gave it, how often you rode).

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it as a birthday present when I was seven and rode it to school and the park almost every day. Although it was a simple, single-speed bike, it helped me learn balance quickly and made playing outside with friends much more fun.

提案: You did not answer this question. Provide a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as “because”, “for example”, or “however” to make your response coherent. Mention trends, who uses bikes (commuters, students), or how infrastructure (bike lanes, traffic) affects popularity.

例: Yes, I think bikes are becoming more popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, cities have added more bike lanes in the past few years, so commuters and students feel safer cycling to work or school. However, bike use is still limited in rural areas where distances are longer and public transport is scarce.

× Student:

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

The original response is missing (no sentence). This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because there is no subject or verb provided. Provide a complete sentence that directly answers the examiner's past-tense question. Use past simple 'had' to match 'Did you have...when you were a child?'. Suggestion: answer briefly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× Student:

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

The original response is missing (no sentence). This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because there is no subject or verb provided. The question asks about current general popularity, so use present simple 'are' for the state and a suitable adverb like 'quite' to qualify. Alternative: 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.'
