Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Respond directly in past tense and clearly. Keep it natural and concise (1–3 sentences), give a brief reason or detail if helpful, and avoid asking the examiner a question. Use linking words if adding details.

例: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I rode a simple balance cycle around my neighborhood, which helped me learn coordination before I learned to pedal.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (for example, because, so, therefore). Use correct grammar (articles, plural forms) and more precise vocabulary (commute, convenient, economical). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people use them to commute short distances because they are economical and help avoid traffic, so riding a bike often saves time and money.

× No, I don't have a bike in my childhood because I have a cycle.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike in my childhood because I had a cycle.

The sentence refers to a past time ('childhood'), so present tense verbs 'don't have' and 'have' are incorrect. Use past tense 'didn't have' (negative past of 'have') and 'had' for the reason. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time frame by using past simple for completed past situations.

× Which is best for me to do?

✓ Which one was best for me to use?

This question is awkwardly structured and mixes tense. The speaker is referring to a past preference. Rephrase to 'Which one was best for me to use?' or simply 'Which one was better for me?' to be natural. Suggestion: choose a clear subject ('one') and appropriate verb ('was') and verb 'use' rather than 'do' when referring to vehicles.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because most of people have bikes.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because most people have bikes.

The phrase 'most of people' is unidiomatic; 'most people' is the correct expression. The main clause 'I think bikes are popular' is present tense and appropriate. Suggestion: remove 'of' after 'most' when followed directly by a plural noun.

× They think bike is best to go anywhere because it's a help to save time.

✓ They think bikes are the best way to go anywhere because they help save time.

Multiple issues: missing plural or article before 'bike' and unnatural phrase 'it's a help to save time.' Correct options: use plural 'bikes' to match general meaning, include 'the' before 'best' when followed by noun phrase 'way', and use 'help' without article: 'they help save time.' Also change structure from 'is best to go anywhere' to 'are the best way to go anywhere' for natural English. Suggestion: pluralize nouns for general statements and use 'help' in a causative sense.
