Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and naturally. The student repeated the examiner's question instead of responding. Give a clear topic sentence (yes/no and brief detail), then one or two supporting details using linking words. Keep it under five sentences and use specific information (age, type of bike, how often you rode).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I learned to ride it when I was six. I rode it to visit my friends almost every day, which helped me build confidence and balance.

提案: Start by answering the question directly about current popularity, then add specific supporting details and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid talking only about the past unless you contrast it with the present. Provide reasons or examples (urban use, leisure, environment) to make your answer informative and natural.

例: Yes, bikes are still quite popular in my country today, especially in cities where traffic is heavy. For example, many people use electric bikes for commuting because they are cheaper and more convenient than cars. However, their popularity has shifted from children’s play to adult commuting and delivery services.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question rather than providing an affirmative answer. This is a sentence structure/response error (list item 26). Use a full sentence with past tense 'had' to answer the past-time question directly. Suggestion: answer briefly with 'Yes, I had a bike' or 'No, I didn't have a bike.'

× When I was young, the bike was very popular in my country.

✓ When I was young, bikes were very popular in my country.

The sentence uses a singular noun 'the bike' which incorrectly generalizes all bicycles; use the plural 'bikes' for general popularity and match past timeframe with plural verb 'were' (Grammar problem types 1 and 6/27). Also article 'the' is unnecessary for general statements. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general references and ensure subject-verb agreement: 'bikes were very popular.'
