Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and repetition, give a clear topic sentence, and add one specific supporting detail. Use linking words to make it coherent (for example: 'because' or 'and'). Keep the answer within 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes. I had a small red tricycle when I was a child, and it had two little stabiliser wheels on either side. I often rode it with my younger sister in the park because our parents liked us to play outside.

Suggestion: Avoid tense mistakes and unclear phrases; state your opinion clearly with a reason and one specific example. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' and avoid filler words such as 'uh' and vague fragments.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country because the climate is mild, so children and adults can cycle outdoors for much of the year. For example, many neighbourhoods have dedicated bike paths and parents often take their children cycling on weekends.

× There are two small wheels on its left and on its right, and I used to, I used to play with my bike with my sister.

✓ There were two small wheels on its left and on its right, and I used to play with my bike with my sister.

The student is describing a past situation (having a bike as a child), so the existential verb 'there are' should be in the past: 'there were'. Also remove the repeated 'I used to' to avoid redundancy. Suggestion: keep tense consistent in past narration and avoid unnecessary repetition.

× Uh, yes, it was popular in my country, uh, because the weather here is good, so the pleads the kids can play outside and play with their bikes and uh, it's there are.

✓ Uh, yes, they are popular in my country because the weather here is good, so the kids can play outside and ride their bikes.

The examiner asked about current popularity, so present tense should be used: 'bikes are popular' rather than 'it was popular'. Use the plural subject 'they' or 'bikes' to match plural noun. 'Pleads' is incorrect; likely meant 'the kids' or simply 'kids'. 'Play with their bikes' is awkward: use 'ride their bikes' for typical activity. Remove 'it's there are' which is ungrammatical. Suggestion: choose present tense for current state, match plural subject-verb agreement, and use appropriate verbs (play/ride).
