Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural, use correct tense and expand briefly with one or two supporting details. Start with a direct topic sentence using past tense, then add a specific detail (where you rode it or who gave it to you) and a short reason or memory. Keep it under five sentences and use linking words like “and” or “because.”

例: Yes, I did — I had a red bicycle when I was about eight. I rode it around my neighborhood every afternoon with my friends, and it was how I learned to be independent and confident.

提案: Give a clear opinion plus specific supporting details and a linking word to make your answer more informative. Mention where bikes are popular, who uses them, or a reason why (cost, convenience, fitness). Keep it concise and natural, within five sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially in cities. Many people use them for short commutes because they are cheap and help avoid traffic, and you also see lots of students and delivery workers cycling.

× Yes, I have a bicycle.

✓ Yes, I had a bicycle.

The examiner asked about having a bike when you were a child, which requires past tense. Using present tense 'have' is incorrect in this context. Change to past tense 'had' to match the time frame of the question. Suggestion: Use past tense verbs when referring to past events or states (e.g., 'When I was a child, I had...').

× Yes, I think so.

✓ Yes, I think they are.

The question asks whether bikes are popular in your country (plural subject 'bikes'). The response 'I think so' is vague; better to repeat the subject and verb to be clear and to match present tense usage. Use 'they are' to explicitly refer to bikes being popular now. Suggestion: When answering questions about general facts, use present simple with plural subjects (e.g., 'I think they are popular').
