Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You misunderstood the examiner’s question and repeated it incorrectly. For Part 1 answers, first respond directly to the question with a clear topic sentence (e.g., Yes or No), then give one or two brief supporting details. Also listen carefully and echo key words from the question (e.g., “bike”), not substitute a different word. Keep your answer natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house and to the park. Because our neighborhood was small and safe, cycling was my main way to get around.

提案: You repeated the examiner’s question but changed tense and did not give an answer. Always answer directly (e.g., “Yes, I think… ” or “No, I don’t think…”), then add a specific reason or example. Use linking words (because, for example, however) to make the reply coherent and keep it natural and within 3–5 sentences.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are many bike-sharing schemes and dedicated cycle lanes, which encourage people to ride regularly.

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

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

The student's reply repeats the auxiliary 'Did' and uses 'have' to ask a new question, but the Examiner asked about possession of a bike; the student mistakenly changed the noun to 'boy'. This is a sentence structure/word choice error and also a subject/content error rather than a correct answer. The correct past tense affirmative response is 'I had a bike' to match the Examiner's past tense question. Suggestion: answer using the past simple (had) and use the correct noun 'bike' to reflect the question.

× Did you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The Examiner's question is in the present simple asking for the student's current opinion: 'Do you think...?' The student incorrectly used past simple 'Did you think' which changes the time reference to the past. To match the intended present meaning, use the present simple auxiliary 'do' plus the base verb 'think'. Suggestion: use 'Do you think' for present opinions and 'Did you think' only when asking about a past opinion.
