Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student misunderstood the examiner’s question and repeated it incorrectly, so the response is not relevant. Improve by listening carefully, answering directly with a clear topic sentence, and adding one or two brief supporting details. Keep answers natural, concise (maximum 5 sentences), and use linking words like “and” or “because” when giving reasons.

Example: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I learned to ride it in my neighborhood park because my parents encouraged me to practice every weekend.

Suggestion: The answer is relevant and direct but too short and lacks supporting detail and linking words. Improve by adding a specific reason or example and using a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it natural and avoid redundancy.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in my city there are bike lanes and shared-bike services, so lots of students and office workers ride daily.

× 'Did you have a bag when you were a child?'

✓ 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

'The student repeated the examiner's question and changed one noun, producing a sentence that does not answer the examiner. This is a sentence structure and response-relevance error. The examiner asked about having a bike; an appropriate answer should be a declarative sentence in the past tense. Use subject + past tense verb to answer (I had), and include the correct noun (bike). Suggestion: Answer directly with "Yes, I had a bike when I was a child" or "No, I didn\'t have a bike when I was a child."'},{
