Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your reply repeats the examiner's question word-for-word and does not answer. To improve, always respond directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no + brief info), then add one or two supporting details. Keep answers natural, up to 5 sentences, and use linking words (for example, because/so/when).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend. Because my parents lived nearby, I often cycled with my older sister, which helped me become confident on the road.

提案: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Give a direct opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words like "because", "for example", or "also" to make your answer coherent and natural.

例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because traffic is heavy and cycling lanes are available, so it is often faster than driving during rush hour.

× Did you have a bike when you were child?

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

The noun 'child' here needs the indefinite article 'a' because it is a singular, countable noun used in a general sense. Use 'a child' to indicate one member of that category. Suggestion: include 'a' before 'child' in similar contexts (e.g., 'when I was a child'). Also note the sentence correctly uses past tense 'Did you have' to match the time reference 'when you were a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. The plural noun 'bikes' matches the plural verb 'are' and the present simple 'Do you think' appropriately asks about a general opinion. No correction needed.
