Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. For Part 1 you should give a direct, natural answer with one topic sentence and 1–2 supporting details. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences), use linking words if you add details, and include specific information (age, type of bike, how often you rode). Also correct grammar: say “when I was a child” not “when you were child.”

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was about six, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood almost every afternoon. Because I practiced a lot, I learned to ride without the training wheels by the time I was seven.

Suggestion: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Provide a clear opinion in the first sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details or reasons using linking words (for example, “because,” “for instance,” or “also”). Mention concrete evidence such as bike lanes, commuting habits, or cultural trends to make your answer believable and specific.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in cities. For instance, several cities have dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing programs, so students and office workers often choose cycling to avoid traffic.

× Did you have a bike when you were child?

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

The noun 'child' in this time expression requires the indefinite article 'a' to be grammatically correct: 'when you were a child.' Without the article it sounds ungrammatical. Suggestion: include the article 'a' before 'child' in similar age phrases (e.g., 'when I was a teenager').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present simple to ask about a general fact and the plural noun 'bikes' matches the plural predicate 'are popular.' No change needed.
