Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep the answer natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and relevant vocabulary (e.g., models, ride to school, lessons).

Example: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. For example, it was a small red bicycle that I used to ride to my friend’s house every weekend, and I learned to cycle at age six with my father's help.

Suggestion: Good: direct answer and reason provided. Improve by adding one specific example or detail and a linking word to make the response more coherent and informative. Also use more natural phrasing (e.g., "gas prices" rather than "gasolines") and avoid redundancy. Keep to max 5 sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute. For instance, after recent gas price increases, more commuters choose bicycles for short trips, and local bike-sharing schemes in cities have become busier as a result.

× Yes, I do think bikes are popular in our country because some people here use it as a mode of transportation, especially because of the price hikes in gasolines.

✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in our country because some people here use them as a mode of transportation, especially because of the price hikes in gasoline.

The pronoun 'it' is incorrect because its antecedent 'bikes' is plural, so the plural pronoun 'them' must be used (Third person singular issue ID applied to pronoun agreement). Also 'gasolines' is an incorrect plural; 'gasoline' is an uncountable noun and should be singular. Suggestion: match pronouns to the number of their antecedents and use uncountable nouns in their standard form ('gasoline' or 'fuel').
