Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a clear direct answer (topic sentence) and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep the total response under five sentences and use appropriate vocabulary (e.g., owned, borrowed, learned to ride).

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. For example, I owned a small red bicycle that I got for my eighth birthday, and I learned to ride it in the park near my house. As a result, I spent most weekends cycling with my friends and exploring nearby streets.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Start with a clear opinion (yes/no or to some extent), then give specific reasons or examples linked with connectors (because, however, for instance). Use relevant vocabulary (commute, cycling lanes, urban areas).

例: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles to commute short distances because of increasing traffic and more cycling lanes being built, although ownership is higher in rural areas for practical use.

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

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

Original student response repeated the examiner's question and did not answer. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error: answers to past tense yes/no questions should use past tense verbs and include a subject and verb. Use 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' to properly respond. Ensure the verb matches past tense and include the appropriate auxiliary for negative: 'didn't have.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

Original student response repeated the examiner's question rather than answering. The correct reply should be a statement using present simple: 'I think bikes are popular in my country.' If giving a negative or nuanced answer, use 'No, I don't think...' or 'I think they are popular in some areas but not others.' Ensure subject-verb order fits a declarative sentence (subject before verb) and maintain present tense for general opinions.
