Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, mention when you got it or how often you used it, and include a reason or a memorable detail.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and rode it to school almost every day. Because my neighborhood was safe and close to my school, cycling became my main way of getting around.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. To improve, give a clear opinion in a topic sentence and support it with specific reasons or examples, using linking words (for example, however, because, therefore). Stay concise and natural.

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is heavy and bike lanes are becoming more common. However, in rural areas cars are still more widespread because distances are longer.

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

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

The student's reply duplicated the examiner's question instead of providing an answer, which is a sentence structure/use error (type 26). The corrected sentence uses past simple tense ('had') to match the time frame 'when you were a child' and supplies a subject and verb to form a complete answer. Suggestion: Answer the question directly using past simple for past habits or possessions (e.g., 'Yes, I had...', 'No, I didn't have...').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering, which is a sentence structure/use error (type 26). The corrected sentence provides a clear response in present simple tense ('think' and 'are') appropriate for general opinions. Suggestion: Respond directly to opinion questions using present simple (e.g., 'Yes, I think...', 'No, I don't think...') and include a brief reason if possible.
