Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a higher score, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and avoid repeating the question.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was about seven. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it to my friend’s house every weekend. Because my parents lived nearby, I often practiced in the park, which helped me learn to balance quickly.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner’s question instead of giving an opinion. To improve, state your view directly, then support it with specific reasons and a contrast or example using linking words (for example, however, because). Use varied but relevant vocabulary and keep to a few sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities where traffic is heavy. For instance, many people choose bicycles for short trips because they are cheaper and faster than cars during rush hour. However, in rural areas people rely more on motorcycles or cars 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 repeated the examiner's question instead of providing an answer. This is a sentence structure/use error: the response should be a declarative sentence with a subject and verb. Use past simple 'had' to match the past time reference 'when you were a child.' Suggestion: answer directly 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. The correct response should be a complete declarative sentence expressing opinion in present simple. Use subject 'I' plus verb 'think' and clause 'bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: give a clear answer such as 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
