Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a good response, start with a clear direct statement about whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (how old you were, how often you used it, or a short memory). Keep it natural, limited to about 2–4 sentences, and use linking words like “and” or “so” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven, and I used it every day to ride around the neighborhood with my friends. It helped me feel independent and I remember practicing until I could ride without training wheels.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Give a direct opinion first (Yes/No/Somewhat) and then support it with one or two specific reasons or examples, using linking words such as “because” or “for example.” Aim for natural vocabulary relevant to transport and lifestyle.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people cycle to work because traffic is heavy and bike lanes make commuting faster, and cycling is also seen as a healthy, inexpensive way to travel.

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

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

The original student response repeated the examiner's question and did not provide an answer. This is a sentence structure/response error rather than a grammatical form error. Correct response uses past simple ('had') to match the past time reference ('when you were a child'). Suggestion: Answer directly using past tense verbs for past-time questions and include subject and verb (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The original student response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Use present simple ('think' and 'are') to express opinion about current general situation. Suggestion: For present-time opinions use present simple and answer directly (e.g., 'Yes, I think...').
