Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Provide a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., who gave it to you, how often you used it, or a short memory). Keep answers natural and concise (max 5 sentences) and use linking words if you add details.

Example: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me on my eighth birthday, and I rode it almost every day to visit friends in the neighborhood. Because the roads were quiet, I felt confident riding alone, which helped me become more independent.

Suggestion: The answer is relevant but contains repetition, minor grammar mistakes and informal fillers. Begin with a clear topic sentence, remove filler words like "Honestly," correct tense and phrasing (e.g., "they are" or "they used to be"), and add one specific supporting detail (where or among which groups bikes are common) using a linking word for coherence.

Example: Yes, bikes are still very popular in my country. In particular, many commuters and students use bicycles and motorbikes to get to work and school because they are cheaper and easier to park than cars. As a result, you can see busy streets filled with two-wheelers during rush hour.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

The sentence contains a repeated preposition 'in in', which is redundant and incorrect. Remove the extra 'in' so the correct prepositional phrase is 'in my country'. Suggestion: read sentences aloud to catch duplicated words and proofread for repeated prepositions.

× Honestly it is used to be a mode of transportation here in the Philippines for work and for school to travel from point A to point B.

✓ Honestly, it used to be a mode of transportation here in the Philippines for commuting to work and school, traveling from point A to point B.

The original sentence misuses pronoun/subject structure and verb form: 'it is used to be' is incorrect. The correct idiom is 'used to be' (past habitual). Also 'to travel from point A to point B' is awkward after 'for work and for school'; use 'commuting to work and school, traveling from point A to point B' for clarity. Suggestions: use 'used to' for past habitual actions and ensure the subject 'it' pairs correctly with 'used to be'; add commas and choose clearer verbs like 'commuting' or 'traveling'.
