Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no + brief detail), then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep your answer natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and avoid repetition of the question. For example, mention when you had a bike, who it belonged to, or a memorable activity you did with it.

例: Yes, I did — I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight years old. For example, I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon, which helped me gain confidence and independence.

提案: This answer is on the right track: you directly answered the question and gave a reason and an example. To improve further, make the structure clearer by starting with a topic sentence, then use a linking word (e.g., because, for example) and provide a more specific detail or statistic if possible. Also avoid slightly awkward phrasing like “go in the evening to the park” — prefer more natural collocations. Keep it under five concise sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Because many cities have dedicated bike lanes and greenways, people often cycle for commuting and leisure. For example, in my hometown there is a long riverside path where families ride bikes every evening to enjoy the view.

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

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

No grammatical error detected. The sentence correctly uses past simple interrogative form for asking about possession in the past, so no change is needed.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bicycles are popular in your country?

The original sentence is grammatically correct, but replacing 'bikes' with the more formal 'bicycles' improves register to suit a speaking test. No grammatical structure change is required.

× Yes, I think they are because we have lots of infrastructure in my hometown, so you can go in the evening to the park and ride a bicycle and enjoy nice views.

✓ Yes, I think they are, because we have a lot of infrastructure in my hometown, so you can go to the park in the evening, ride a bicycle, and enjoy the nice views.

Multiple issues aligned with the provided list: 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions) and 22 (Article errors). Problems: 'lots of infrastructure' is informal and 'infrastructure' is uncountable — 'a lot of infrastructure' is better; word order 'go in the evening to the park' is unnatural in English — 'go to the park in the evening' is the correct prepositional/order placement; missing article before 'nice views' — use 'the nice views' or simply 'nice views' depending on meaning; commas improve clarity. Suggestions: use 'a lot of infrastructure' for uncountable nouns, place time expressions (in the evening) after the verb or at end for natural flow, add commas to separate clauses, and include appropriate articles before nouns when referring to specific things ('the nice views').
