Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response misunderstood the examiner’s question and contains grammatical errors. First, answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No) and correct the vocabulary (bike, not pie). Then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word (because/so/for example). Keep the answer natural and within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that my parents bought for me when I was six, and I used to ride it to visit my friends. Because the neighborhood was safe, I rode it almost every day during summer.

Suggestion: Your reply repeated part of the examiner’s question and contains vocabulary and grammar mistakes. Begin with a clear opinion sentence (Yes/No/I think…), then support it with one or two specific reasons or examples and a linking word (for example/because). Use correct words: ‘bikes’ and ‘popular’. Keep responses concise and natural.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in big cities there are bike-sharing programs and dedicated lanes that encourage cycling.

× Did you have a pie when you were child?

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

Type ID 26: Sentence structure errors and Type ID 11: Incorrect use of prepositions. The student used the wrong noun 'pie' instead of 'bike' and omitted the article 'a' before 'child'. Also the correct idiom is 'when you were a child.' Suggestion: Use the correct vocabulary that matches the question (bike) and include the article 'a' before 'child' to form the phrase 'a child.'

× Do you think buy a popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Type ID 26: Sentence structure errors and Type ID 11: Incorrect use of prepositions/word choice. The student attempted to translate 'Are bikes popular?' but used 'buy' incorrectly and omitted the subject 'bikes' and the verb 'are.' Suggestion: Keep the original sentence structure of the question: 'Do you think' + clause. Inside the clause use a subject and verb: 'bikes are popular in your country.' Alternatively, 'Do you think people buy bikes in your country?' if the intended meaning was about purchasing. Ensure subject and verb agree and correct word choice ('buy' vs 'bikes'/'are popular').
