Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct personal answer (topic sentence) and add one or two brief supporting details. Keep it natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and use linking words like 'so' or 'because' if adding reasons. Also correct grammar: say 'when I was a child' rather than repeating the question.

Example: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, so I learned to ride safely in my neighborhood. I used it almost every day to visit friends and go to school.

Suggestion: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Respond directly with your opinion (topic sentence) and then give a specific reason or example using linking words such as 'because' or 'for example.' Keep answers natural and concise, and include relevant vocabulary like 'popular,' 'commute,' or 'recreational.'

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances and save money on transport. For example, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and several bike-share programs that lots of commuters use.
