Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. For improvement, directly state whether you had a bike with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two brief supporting details (e.g., when you got it, how you used it). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 4–5 sentences) and use linking words like “so” or “and” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it as a birthday present when I was eight, and I used it to ride to school and play with friends. Because it was lightweight, I learned to ride quickly and felt very confident.

Sugerencia: Your reply was a confused repetition and did not answer the question. Practice giving a direct opinion in the first sentence (e.g., “Yes, they are popular” or “Not really”), then add a specific reason and a short example. Use linking words such as “because” or “for example” to make the answer coherent and relevant. Keep answers natural and under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, cities have dedicated bike lanes and students often cycle to university. However, they are less common in rural areas where public transport or cars are preferred.

× 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 answering. This is a sentence structure/use issue (ID 26). To answer a past simple question about possession, use past simple affirmative: 'I had'. Provide a complete sentence with a subject and verb. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' depending on truth.

× Did do you think bikes are popular in your you in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student's sentence contains redundant auxiliary 'Did' and a duplicated phrase 'in your you in your country', causing a sentence structure error (ID 26). The correct present-simple question about general opinion uses 'Do' + subject + base verb: 'Do you think...?' Remove the extra 'Did' and the duplicated words. Suggestion: Say 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' or answer directly: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'
