Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question, so it does not fulfill the requirement to answer. Give a direct, natural reply that includes a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Keep your answer concise (no more than 5 sentences) and use linking words if you add extra information.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I used it every day to ride to a friend’s house. Because I practiced a lot, I became confident riding on busier streets by the time I was ten.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Provide a clear opinion followed by specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) to make your answer coherent and add relevant vocabulary about transport or culture.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in small towns and among students, because they are cheap and convenient. For example, many people cycle to school or the market, and there are several bike lanes in city centers to support commuters.

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

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

The original student sentence simply repeats the examiner's question and does not answer it. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic issue: responses to yes/no questions should provide an answer. Use the past simple tense ('had') to match 'when you were a child.' A clear, complete answer is 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' If the intended answer is negative, use 'No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.' Keep subject-verb order appropriate for statements: subject + past-tense verb.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The original student sentence repeats the examiner's question instead of answering it. This is a sentence structure/pragmatic error. Provide a complete sentence that answers the question. Use present simple ('think' and 'are') to match the general present-time question. Alternatively, to disagree: 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Ensure subject + verb order for statements (e.g., 'I think').
