Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. For Part 1 you should answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief details. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). Use linking words like “and” or “so” when adding details.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was about six, and I rode it every afternoon in the park. Because my parents lived nearby, they often came with me and taught me how to balance and brake.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the examiner’s question instead of responding. Give a direct opinion first (e.g., Yes or No), then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “however” to connect your ideas.

Exemplo: 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 bike-sharing programs, and in rural areas people often ride bicycles to the market.

× 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, creating a sentence structure error because it did not answer. The appropriate response should be a statement in the past tense matching the question. Use 'Yes, I had a bike...' or 'No, I didn't have a bike...' to answer. This fixes the structure by providing a subject and past-tense verb and makes the meaning clear.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering, causing a sentence structure error. The answer should be a statement that expresses opinion in the present tense (for general truths): 'I think bikes are popular...' or 'No, I don't think bikes are popular...'. This provides a clear subject and verb and matches the question's tense and modality.
