Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response repeats the examiner's question and also uses the wrong tense and person (“do” instead of “did”). This fails to answer. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence in past tense, add one or two brief supporting details (maximum 5 sentences), and use linking words (for example, “and” or “because”) to make it coherent. Keep vocabulary simple and relevant.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it every weekend in the park. Because I practised a lot, I learned to ride without the training wheels by the time I was seven.

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of giving an opinion. Improve by stating your opinion clearly (topic sentence), then give specific supporting reasons or comparisons using linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “however.” Keep answers concise and natural, up to five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are bike lanes and shared bicycles, which makes cycling convenient. However, car use is still common for long distances.

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

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

The question asks about a past situation 'when you were a child', so the auxiliary 'do' in present tense is incorrect. Use the past tense auxiliary 'did' with the base verb 'have'. Suggestion: use 'Did you...' for past simple questions about past habits or possessions. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already correct. It asks about a present general opinion using the present simple 'do you think' and 'are popular'. No grammatical change is needed. Suggestion: no change required. Grammar problem type ID:6
