Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence (yes/no and brief detail), then add one or two supporting details with linking words. Keep answers natural, concise (maximum 5 sentences), and specific (age, who gave it, how often you rode, or why not).

Ejemplo: Yes, I did have a bike when I was about seven years old. For example, my parents bought me a small red bicycle for my birthday, and I rode it to the park almost every weekend. Because I practiced a lot with my older brother, I became confident riding on quiet streets.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Start with a clear opinion (Yes/No/Partly), then give reasons and one concrete example using linking words (for instance, because..., for example...). Use relevant vocabulary like commuting, cycling lanes, or recreation to be specific and natural. Keep it under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in urban areas. This is because many people use them for short commutes due to heavy traffic and limited parking; for example, I see many office workers cycling to work in the mornings. Moreover, cities have been adding dedicated cycling lanes, which has encouraged more people to ride.

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

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

The student repeated the examiner's question rather than providing an answer. This is a sentence structure/response error: answers should be complete statements. Use past simple 'had' to match the question's past tense. Suggestion: respond with a full sentence (subject + past-tense verb), e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have one.'

× 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 rather than answering. This is a response/sentence structure issue related to tense: the question uses present simple, so the answer should also use present simple. Suggestion: reply with a full sentence using present simple, e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think they are popular.'
