Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct, natural answer (1 sentence topic + up to 2 supporting sentences). Use correct grammar (e.g., “when I was a child”) and add a brief detail or reason. Keep it concise and avoid redundancy.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle with training wheels that I rode around my neighborhood every weekend, which helped me become more confident and independent.

Suggestion: Again, you echoed the examiner rather than answering. Respond directly, state your opinion, and support it with a specific reason or example. Use linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “however”) to make the answer coherent. Keep to a maximum of 5 sentences.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in crowded cities; for example, bike-sharing programs have become common in major towns, although cars are still dominant for long journeys.
