Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response did not answer the examiner’s question and repeated a different word, which breaks the Basic Structure rule. For improvement: listen carefully to the question, then give a direct topic sentence answering it (yes/no or short statement), add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word, and keep the answer concise (no more than 5 sentences). Practice common childhood topics so you can respond immediately and accurately.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, my parents bought it for my seventh birthday, and I rode it to school every day. Because the roads near my house were quiet, I felt safe practicing tricks with my friends. This helped me become more confident and active.

提案: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of giving an answer. To improve: respond directly with a clear opinion (e.g., yes/no or somewhat), then provide a specific reason and one concrete example, using a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it natural and avoid mirroring the question back to the examiner.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips. For example, in large cities there are bike-sharing schemes and dedicated lanes, so commuters often cycle to work. However, in rural areas cars are more common due to longer distances.

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

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

The student's reply repeats the examiner's question and changes 'bike' to 'bag', causing a sentence structure and relevance error. The examiner asked about having a bike; the correct response should be a past-tense statement matching the question. Use past simple 'had' to answer a past possession question and keep the noun 'bike' to match the topic. Suggestion: answer concisely with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× 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 providing an answer, which is a sentence structure/response error. To respond appropriately, convert the question into a declarative sentence. Use present simple 'are' to state general truth and include a clear opinion phrase like 'I think.' Suggestion: answer with 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
