Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeated and changed the examiner's question instead of answering it. For Part 1, respond directly with a short, natural answer (1–3 sentences), including a topic sentence and a brief supporting detail. Use correct verb forms and avoid repeating the question. For example, say whether you had a bike, how old you were, and one brief detail about how you used it.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle from the age of six, and I used it to ride to my friend’s house and around the park almost every weekend.

提案: You again repeated the question and introduced errors (“buy” instead of “bicycles” or “bike”). Instead, give a clear opinion followed by a concise reason or example. Use linking words like “because” or “for example” to make your answer coherent and natural.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short journeys and exercise, and cities are building more bike lanes to make cycling safer.

× Did you have a bike when you were assigned?

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

The student replaced 'a child' with 'assigned', which is unrelated and makes the sentence nonsensical. This is a sentence structure error because the time clause 'when you were a child' correctly indicates the period being asked about. Suggestion: use appropriate noun phrases for age/time expressions (child, young, a teenager) to match the examiner's intent.

× Do you think buy bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The insertion of 'buy' before 'bikes' breaks the noun phrase and produces an incorrect structure. This is a sentence structure error; 'buy' is a verb and cannot directly modify 'bikes' here. Suggestion: remove extraneous verbs or use a correct modifier (for example, 'buying bikes' in a different sentence: 'Do you think buying bikes is popular?') to maintain grammatical structure.
