Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (when you got it, how often you used it, or a short memory). Keep it natural and avoid redundancy; use linking words if you add extra information.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it for my eighth birthday and rode it almost every day to visit my friends. Because the neighbourhood was quiet, I felt safe cycling around, which helped me become more confident and independent.

提案: Your answer gives a basic opinion but is short and contains awkward phrasing (“transportation mechanism”) and a pause. Improve by stating your view clearly, using more natural vocabulary (e.g. “means of transport”), and adding a specific reason or example with a linking word like “because” or “for example.” Keep to no more than about 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short journeys and commuting. For example, in cities you often see students and workers cycling to save time and avoid traffic. Also, cycling is becoming more common as people try to be healthier and more environmentally friendly.

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

✓ Yes, I did.

The student's repetition of the examiner's question yields a sentence-structure issue: instead of answering, they repeated the question. This is not a grammatical error type from the provided list except 'Sentence structure errors' (ID 26). Provide a proper short answer that fits past tense: use 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't.' This keeps subject-verb agreement and tense consistent. Suggestion: Answer directly to the question using past tense: 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't.'

× Yeah, I do think bikes are popular in my country as they are used as. Transportation mechanism.

✓ Yeah, I do think bikes are popular in my country because they are used as a means of transportation.

Errors: 'as they are used as. Transportation mechanism' contains incorrect preposition/phrase choice and punctuation. Correct phrase is 'used as a means of transportation' or 'used for transportation.' Also remove the incorrect period after 'as'. Use 'because' to express reason. Suggestion: Use 'because' for causal links and the idiomatic phrase 'a means of transportation' or 'for transportation.' Ensure punctuation is correct and the sentence is continuous.
