Bike— Part 1 Report

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

Example: Yes — I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. It had training wheels at first, but after a few months I learned to ride without them, which made me very proud. Because my house was near a park, I often rode there with my friends on weekends.

Suggestion: Again you repeated the question rather than answering. State your opinion directly, then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word to connect ideas. Use relevant vocabulary (e.g., cycling, commute, infrastructure). Keep it concise and natural.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances. For instance, urban areas have dedicated bike lanes and some companies even provide bike parking, so cycling is both convenient and economical.

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

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). The expected response should be a full declarative sentence in the past tense to match the question. Use 'had' (past tense of 'have') and include a subject ('I') and verb to form a complete answer. Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' to provide clear information.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (type 26). The appropriate reply should be a declarative sentence in the present tense to match the question. Use 'I think' plus the clause 'bikes are popular in my country' to make a proper answer. Suggestion: respond directly, for example 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.'.
