Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, I learned to ride it when I was six, and I used it every day to visit friends and go to the park. Because it was small and bright red, I remember feeling very proud of it.

Sugestão: Again you echoed the examiner rather than answering. Start with a clear opinion (yes/no or a degree), then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word to connect ideas. Use relevant vocabulary like "commuting," "recreational," or "infrastructure."

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because public transport can be crowded, and there are growing bike lanes that make cycling safer.

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

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. The response should be in simple past tense to match the time reference 'when you were a child'. Use 'I had' (past simple) not 'Did you have'. Suggestion: answer with a subject plus past-tense verb: 'I had a bike.'

× Did you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student used past simple 'Did you think' while the examiner's question asks about a present opinion. The correct form is present simple question 'Do you think' to ask about current beliefs. Suggestion: use 'Do you think' for present opinions and 'Did you think' only when referring to a past opinion.
