Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a topic sentence (yes/no) and 1–2 specific supporting details. Keep it natural and under five sentences. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle with training wheels because my parents wanted me to learn safely, and I used it every weekend to ride in the park with my older brother.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. Begin with a clear viewpoint, then support it with 1–2 specific reasons or examples using linking words such as 'because', 'for example' or 'however'. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise; for example, cities have several bike-sharing schemes that make cycling convenient for commuters.

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

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

The student's response repeated the question instead of providing an answer, resulting in a sentence that does not function as a response. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). Suggestion: Provide a direct answer using the past simple tense to match the question (Did + subject + have), e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' If negating, use 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the question instead of answering, so the utterance does not serve as a reply. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). Suggestion: Provide a direct opinion that matches the present simple question form, for example, 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' For a negative reply use 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
