Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. To improve, give a direct topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (age, how often you rode, a memorable moment). Keep answers natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and use linking words like "when" or "because" if adding reasons.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it for my seventh birthday and rode it to school most days. It was a small red bicycle with a bell, and I cherished it because it gave me freedom to explore the neighborhood.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. To improve, state your opinion directly (yes or no), then support it with specific reasons or examples (urban cycling culture, infrastructure, weather, or statistics). Use linking words such as "because", "for example", or "however" to make your answer coherent and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, cities have bike lanes and many students and office workers cycle to save time and money.

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

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

The student's reply repeats the examiner's question instead of providing an answer; this is a sentence structure/response error. Provide a declarative past-tense sentence to answer a past-tense question. Use past simple 'had' for possession in the past and include a subject 'I' and a verb. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' depending on the truth.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To respond, use a present simple declarative sentence matching the question's tense: 'I think' for expressing an opinion, and keep 'bikes are popular in my country.' If negative, use 'No, I don't think...'. This fixes the sentence structure by converting a question into an appropriate answer.
