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 (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural, concise (no more than 3–5 sentences), and use relevant vocabulary about childhood, bicycles, or activities.

例: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. It had training wheels at first, but I learned to ride without them within a few months. Because it was sturdy and comfortable, I used it to visit friends and explore my neighborhood every weekend.

提案: The answer is unclear and irrelevant. To improve, state your opinion directly (e.g., Yes/No/Somewhat), then explain briefly with specific reasons and a linking word (because, for example, however). Use vocabulary like commuting, environment, traffic, or recreation to make your point clear and relevant.

例: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular, especially in cities, because many people use them for short commutes to avoid traffic. For example, bike-sharing schemes and dedicated lanes have made cycling a convenient option for students and office workers.

× I think there are notes.

✓ I think bicycles are popular.

The student's reply 'I think there are notes.' is ungrammatical and does not answer the question. This is a sentence structure and word choice error (falls under Sentence structure errors, ID 26). The examiner asked about popularity of bikes; an appropriate answer should mention 'bikes' or 'bicycles' and use a valid predicate such as 'are popular' or 'are common'. Suggestion: Replace the incorrect phrase with 'bicycles are popular' or 'bikes are common' to directly respond to the question and maintain correct subject-verb agreement.
