Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence and add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and no more than five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, then add when or how you used it and why it mattered.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it as a birthday present when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends in the neighborhood. Because it was light and easy to handle, I learned to ride quickly and used it almost every day during the summer.

提案: You again repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an opinion. Improve by giving a direct opinion (topic sentence), then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because/for instance). Keep answers concise and coherent.

例: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in smaller cities and among students. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are inexpensive and help avoid traffic, although cars are more common in large cities.

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

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

The sentence contains redundant and incorrect tense wording: 'are you were' mixes present and past forms and is ungrammatical. The correct form uses simple past 'were' to match the past-tense question 'Did you have...'. Suggest removing 'are you' so the clause reads 'when you were a child'. Use consistent past tense for both clauses in past-time questions.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present simple 'do you think' to ask a general opinion and 'are popular' correctly in the present tense to describe a general state. No changes needed.
