Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response repeated and turned the examiner's question back instead of answering. For Part 1 you should answer briefly and directly using past tense, then add one short supporting detail if needed. Keep it natural and avoid repeating the question. Use correct tense: 'did' requires past simple (I had).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I remember riding it to school most days, and I enjoyed cycling with my friends on weekends.

Sugerencia: You again echoed the examiner's question and used incorrect grammar. Start with a direct opinion (Yes/No/Somewhat) and follow with a specific reason or example. Use present simple for general facts and linkers like 'because' or 'for example' to add clarity.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes. For example, in cities you often see people cycling to work or to the shops, especially where traffic is heavy.

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

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

The sentence contains redundant and mixed tense fragments ('when you are' and 'when you were') making the structure incorrect. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Remove the extraneous 'when you are' and keep the past-tense clause 'when you were a child' to match the past-tense question 'Did you have...'. Suggestion: use a single clear time clause in the past tense and avoid repeating phrases.

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

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The sentence mixes past auxiliary 'Did' with a present-tense clause 'are popular' and includes an unnecessary preposition 'of', producing an incorrect sentence structure. This fits Sentence structure errors (ID 26). To ask about current opinions, use the present simple auxiliary 'Do' and the correct verb 'think' without 'of': 'Do you think bikes are popular...'. Suggestion: match the auxiliary verb to the intended tense and omit unnecessary prepositions.
