Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Provide a direct, concise response (1 topic sentence) and, if useful, one supporting detail. Keep answers natural and within five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, include a brief detail (age or frequency of use), and avoid repeating the question.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven and rode it to the park almost every weekend, which helped me learn balance and made me more independent.

Suggestion: The answer is direct and relevant but could be improved by adding one specific supporting detail and varying vocabulary. Use a linking word to connect the reason and give a concrete example or comparison. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Korea because they are convenient and help people avoid traffic. For instance, many cities have bike-sharing programs and dedicated bike lanes, so commuters often cycle short distances instead of driving.

× Yes, in Korea bikes are popular because bikes are really convenient and it's really good to avoid traffic.

✓ Yes, in Korea bicycles are popular because they are really convenient and good for avoiding traffic.

The original sentence has pronoun and word-choice issues. 'Bikes' repeated is stylistically weak; use 'bicycles' once and then the pronoun 'they' to refer back to it (Incorrect use of pronouns). Also 'it's really good to avoid traffic' incorrectly uses the dummy pronoun 'it' with an infinitive phrase; use 'good for avoiding traffic' to express purpose or benefit. Suggestion: use a pronoun to avoid repetition and use 'good for + -ing' when describing something's usefulness (e.g., 'they are good for avoiding traffic').
