Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a direct personal answer (topic sentence), add one or two specific supporting details, and use linking words to make it coherent. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, say whether you had a bike, how old you were when you got it, and a short detail about how you used it or why it mattered.

Example: Yes, I did — I got my first bike when I was seven. Since then I rode it almost every day to visit friends and explore the neighborhood, which helped me gain confidence and independence.

Suggestion: Start with a clear opinion, then support it with specific reasons and linking words. Mention who uses bikes, where they are common, or give a brief comparison or trend. Keep it concise and natural (no more than five sentences).

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, in cities you often see commuters cycling to work, and in rural areas children use bikes to travel to school.

× Yes, I think it's popular in my country.

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

The student refers to 'bikes' (plural) from the examiner's question. The original sentence uses 'it' and 'is' which are third person singular forms and do not agree with the plural noun. Change 'it' to the plural pronoun 'they' and 'is' to 'are' to match number agreement. Suggestion: identify the noun being referred to (bikes) and ensure pronouns and verbs agree in number by using 'they are' for plural subjects.
