Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct answer with a topic sentence, then add 1–2 supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "and", "so"). Keep it natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and include a specific detail (age, color, where you rode, or who taught you).

Example: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I got it when I was six years old. I learned to ride it in the park near my house, and my older brother helped me practice every weekend.

Suggestion: Again, you repeated the question rather than answering. Start with a clear opinion (Yes/No/Partly), then support it with 1–2 specific reasons and a linking word (e.g., "because", "however"). Mention concrete examples (urban cycling, delivery riders, bike lanes) to make your answer convincing and natural.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities, because many people use them for short commutes and food delivery. However, their popularity varies by region: in big cities there are many bike lanes and rental schemes, while in rural areas cars are more common.

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

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of providing an answer. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). The correct response should be a statement in past tense matching the question: use the past simple ('had') not the auxiliary 'did' alone. Suggestion: answer with a full sentence such as 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' to clearly respond to the question.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). Provide a full sentence response that matches the question's present-tense form: use 'I think' + clause. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.' to clearly answer the question.
