Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Clarify pronunciation and listen carefully before repeating. The student misunderstood the examiner’s question and repeated it incorrectly. For Part 1, answer directly with a simple topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details, use linking words if needed, and keep it natural and concise.

例: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about six. It was my first means of getting around the neighborhood, and I learned to ride it with my father’s help.

提案: Avoid turning the examiner’s question back into a question. Instead, respond directly and provide specific details or examples. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, then add supporting points (e.g., reasons, comparisons, or observations) using linking words like 'because', 'for example', or 'however'. Keep it under five sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and many students and office workers cycle to save time and money.

× Did you have a bite when you were a child

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

The student used the word 'bite' (meaning a small piece taken with the teeth) instead of the intended noun 'bike' (bicycle). This is a vocabulary/homophone error, not a grammar rule from the provided list; however it changes meaning and makes the answer incorrect. Correction: replace 'bite' with 'bike' and add a question mark to match the examiner's question. Suggestion: listen carefully to pronunciation and confirm unfamiliar words, and practice minimal-pair vocabulary (bite/bike) to avoid confusion.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already grammatically correct: present simple question asking for opinion about general truth. No changes needed. Suggestion: answer the question rather than repeating it; for example, 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because...' to demonstrate language ability.
