Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Avoid repeating the examiner’s question. Give a direct answer (yes/no) with a brief topic sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (for example, because/so/and). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I used to ride it to school every day. Because my parents lived near a park, I often practised there with my friends, which helped me become confident on two wheels.

Sugestão: Avoid saying “I don't know.” If unsure, give a qualified opinion (e.g., “I’m not sure, but I think…”), then support it with specific reasons or examples and use linking words (for example, however/because/for instance). Keep it concise and relevant.

Exemplo: I’m not completely sure, but I think bikes are quite popular in cities. For instance, many people use electric bikes for short commutes because traffic is heavy and bike lanes are improving, so cycling has become a practical option.

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

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

The student's reply simply repeated the examiner's question and did not provide a proper answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the expected response should be a declarative sentence that answers the yes/no question. Suggestion: Answer directly using the appropriate tense — for a past possession question use 'Yes, I did' followed by 'I had...' or 'No, I didn't' followed by an explanation. Also avoid echoing the question.

× I don't know.

✓ I'm not sure, but I think bikes are quite popular in my country.

The original reply is grammatically correct but too brief and does not fully address the examiner's question. This is treated as a sentence structure/content response issue (ID 26) because a fuller, polite opinion is expected. Suggestion: Use a modal or opinion phrase ('I think', 'I'm not sure, but I believe') and a present-tense statement to match the question about general popularity (use present simple: 'are popular').
