Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer does not respond to the question. For Part 1 you should give a direct topic sentence that answers whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (age, how often you rode, a short memory). Keep it natural, relevant vocabulary, and no more than 3–4 sentences. Use linking words like “when,” “so,” or “also” if needed.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. I rode it to school and around my neighborhood almost every day, which made me more independent. When I moved closer to the sea I stopped riding as much because the roads became busier.

提案: Your answer repeats unrelated information and doesn't address popularity of bikes. Start with a clear opinion (yes/no/partly), then support it with specific reasons or examples (urban vs rural differences, cycling infrastructure, weather) using linking words like “because,” “however,” or “for example.” Keep responses concise and relevant.

例: I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in smaller towns and among students. For example, many people use bicycles for short trips because they are cheap and convenient, but in big cities cars and public transit are still more common.

× I live in a small city near the sea.

✓ I lived in a small city near the sea.

The examiner asked about the student's childhood (past). The original sentence uses present tense 'live', which conflicts with the past time frame. Use past tense 'lived' to match the question about when the student was a child. Suggestion: when describing past situations, use past simple verbs (I lived, I had, I went).

× I enjoy reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

✓ I enjoyed reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

The question refers to childhood (past). The original sentence uses present simple 'enjoy', which mismatches the past context. Change to past simple 'enjoyed' to correctly describe activities in childhood. Suggestion: align verb tense with the time being discussed.

× Learning English helps me meet new people and understand different cultures.

✓ Learning English helped me meet new people and understand different cultures.

The question asks about the student's experience as a child, so the clause should be in past tense. The original uses present 'helps' which is inconsistent. Use past simple 'helped'. Suggestion: match tense across related clauses when referring to past experiences.

× I live in a small city near the sea.

✓ I live in a small city near the sea.

For the second examiner question (Do you think bikes are popular in your country?) the present tense 'live' is appropriate because the question asks about the current situation. No change needed. Suggestion: use present simple to describe current residence.

× I enjoy reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

✓ I enjoy reading books and walking in the park with my friends.

In response to a question about current popularity of bikes, using present simple 'enjoy' is fine for stating current hobbies. No grammatical correction needed. Suggestion: ensure tense matches the question's time frame.

× Learning English helps me meet new people and understand different cultures.

✓ Learning English helps me meet new people and understand different cultures.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present tense and fits a general statement about current benefits. No change needed. Suggestion: continue using present simple for general truths or ongoing situations.
