Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be direct, grammatically correct and relevant. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I did”), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid irrelevant or contradictory remarks. Keep it under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was eight, and I used it to ride to school and the park every weekend. Because it was lightweight and had good brakes, I felt confident riding it on busy streets.

Sugestão: Answer the question directly, and if you don’t understand a word, ask the examiner briefly and politely before attempting your answer. Use a topic sentence stating your opinion, then add one or two specific reasons or examples with linking words. Keep responses concise and relevant.

Exemplo: Could you please explain what you mean by “commuters”? (pause) Yes, I think bikes are quite popular here. For example, many people cycle to work in large cities because it’s faster in traffic and cheaper than using a car or public transport, especially during rush hour.

× Yes, I have a bike and no, I am not a child.

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

The examiner asked about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using present tense 'have' and 'am not a child' conflicts with the time frame. Use 'had' for past possession and remove the contradictory 'no, I am not a child' because the question refers to past status. Suggestion: respond directly about past possession (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.').

× I have a question I cannot understand about the word meaning commuters.

✓ I have a question: I do not understand the meaning of the word 'commuters'.

The original sentence has awkward word order and missing preposition structure. Use a colon or break into two clauses, and use 'do not understand' for present inability. Also use the correct noun phrase 'the meaning of the word commuters' or better, include quotes around the word. Suggestion: say 'I have a question: I do not understand the meaning of the word "commuters".'
