Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You did not answer the examiner’s question and repeated it incorrectly, probably because you misheard “bike” as “bug.” Listen carefully for the key topic word and give a direct answer first. Then add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, how often you used it, or where you rode it.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven years old. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school, and I really enjoyed cycling with my friends.

提案: Your answer is relevant and direct, but “bike” should be plural because you are talking about bikes in general. Also, add a reason or a specific example to make your response more developed and effective. Use a linking word such as “because” or “especially” to connect your ideas.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. Many people use them for short journeys, especially in smaller cities and towns.
