Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, respond directly with a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep the response natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, mention whether you had a bike, when you got it, who gave it to you, or how often you used it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it from my parents on my eighth birthday, and I used it almost every day to ride to school and play with friends. Because our neighborhood was quiet, cycling felt safe and fun, so I practiced a lot and became quite confident.

Suggestion: The student answered but the response has hesitations, some unclear phrasing and a small grammatical error (“Meg is popular”). Improve by giving a clear topic sentence, using linking words (because, so), and providing a specific example or statistic. Remove filler words (uh) and correct grammar. Keep it concise and coherent.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because traffic is often heavy and bikes are faster for short trips. For instance, many commuters use motorcycles or bicycles to get to work quickly, and in cities you can see dedicated bike lanes that encourage cycling.

× Yes, since our country is known for heavy traffic and that's why people prefer to uh, use bikes or anything that will make their transportation pass and with lots of vehicles going around, I think that's Meg is popular.

✓ Yes. Since our country is known for heavy traffic, people prefer to use bikes or anything that makes their travel easier, and with lots of vehicles on the roads, I think bikes are popular.

Issues: present tense consistency and sentence structure. The original mixes phrases and has an incorrect clause 'that will make their transportation pass' and 'I think that's Meg is popular' which is ungrammatical. Use simple present tense for general truths (people prefer; things make). Replace 'transportation pass' with 'travel easier', and correct 'I think bikes are popular' for clarity. Also add punctuation to separate ideas and remove filler 'uh'.
