Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your reply simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a brief topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Keep it natural, avoid repetition, and use linking words if you add extra information.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle when I was about eight, and I rode it to a friend's house almost every weekend. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I felt comfortable practicing new tricks and learning to ride without training wheels.

Suggestion: You misunderstood and repeated the question with mistakes, so you did not answer. Make sure to listen carefully, then answer directly. Begin with a clear opinion sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, therefore, or however).

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use them for short commutes because they are economical and avoid traffic, and recently there have been more bike lanes and rental schemes which encourage cycling.

× Do you think bags are popular in your?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The sentence uses the pronoun 'your' without a noun, which is ungrammatical. The intended possessive should be followed by a noun (e.g., 'your country'). Also the student changed 'bikes' to 'bags' replacing the object of the question; this likely is a lexical error. Correcting to 'bikes' matches the examiner's question and adding 'country' completes the possessive phrase. Suggestion: always follow possessive determiners (my/your/his/etc.) with the noun they modify, and ensure the noun matches the topic of the question.
