Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a clear, direct response (topic sentence), then 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). Mention when you had it, who it belonged to or what you used it for, and a brief feeling or result.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. In fact, my parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it to school and around the neighborhood every day. As a result, I became very confident cycling and made many friends by exploring nearby parks together.

提案: Again, you simply repeated the question. Provide a direct opinion first, then 1–2 specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "however"). Use appropriate vocabulary about transport and popularity and keep it natural and concise.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes, so more commuters choose cycling to avoid traffic and save money.

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

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

The original student sentence repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the reply lacks a verb phrase that affirms or negates ownership. Correct response uses past simple 'had' to match the past-time question. Suggestion: Use past simple verbs to answer 'Did you...' questions and include a subject and verb, e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike' or 'No, I didn't.' 'Secondly, you can add brief details: "Yes, I had a bike when I was about eight".'

× 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 giving an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the reply should state an opinion rather than restate the question. Correction uses present simple 'think' to match the present-tense question. Suggestion: When asked 'Do you think...?', respond with 'Yes, I think...' or 'No, I don't think...' and optionally give a reason: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular because many people use them for commuting.'
