Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct, concise response that states whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details. Keep it natural and under five sentences, and use linking words (for example, 'but', 'because', or 'so') if adding reasons.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used it to ride to a friend’s house every afternoon. However, I stopped using it often after I started taking the bus to school.

Suggestion: The answer addresses the question but is repetitive and has grammatical errors. Improve by giving a clear topic sentence, then add specific reasons and a comparison using linking words (for example, 'because', 'so', 'however'). Fix repetition and use more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'motorcycles', 'convenient', 'cheaper'). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: No, bicycles are not very popular in my country. Most people prefer cars or motorcycles because they are more convenient and often faster for longer trips. Also, many families find motorbikes cheaper to buy and maintain than a bicycle for commuting, so cycling is mainly seen as a leisure activity.

× Most people prefer cars or motorbike because it's more affordable, because they say it's more affordable and you can go in your in your destination.

✓ Most people prefer cars or motorbikes because they are more affordable, and you can get to your destination easily.

Third person singular/plural and noun number: 'motorbike' should be plural to match 'cars' and 'most people' (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 27). Verb agreement: 'it's more affordable' refers to 'cars or motorbikes' (plural), so use 'they are' (Grammar Problem Type 2 & 27). Word choice and redundancy: remove repeated phrase 'because they say it's more affordable' and combine ideas for clarity (Grammar Problem Type 26). Preposition and adverb usage: 'go in your destination' is incorrect; use 'get to your destination' and 'easy' should be the adverb 'easily' (Grammar Problem Type 11 and 13 & 20). Suggestions: use plural 'motorbikes', match verbs to plural subjects ('they are'), replace 'go in' with 'get to', and use 'easily' for manner.
