Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a topic sentence (yes/no + brief detail), then add one or two short supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, mention when you got it or how often you used it, and include a reason or memorable detail.

例: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it for my seventh birthday and rode it to school several times a week. Because there were few buses in our neighborhood, cycling was a convenient way for me to get around.

提案: You repeated the examiner's question rather than providing your opinion. To improve, start with a clear topic sentence giving your opinion, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, moreover, however). Keep answers concise and relevant, with specific details about usage, groups who ride, or trends.

例: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is often heavy and public transport can be crowded. Moreover, there has been a rise in bike-sharing schemes in recent years, which has encouraged more people to cycle.

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

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

The student's original sentence repeated the examiner's question rather than answering it. This is a sentence structure/response error: answers to past tense questions should use past tense verbs. Use 'Yes, I had a bike' (past simple) to match 'Did you have...'. Include a subject and verb to form a complete answer. Suggestion: respond directly 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 again repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. This is a sentence structure/response error: for present-tense questions use present simple in the answer. Use 'I think bikes are popular in my country' to express opinion. You can also say 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Ensure subject and verb are present for a full sentence.
