Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is mostly unintelligible, so the examiner cannot identify a clear response. Answer the question directly in the first sentence by saying whether you had a bike. Then add one or two specific details, such as who gave it to you, when you used it, or where you rode it. Use simple, accurate sentences and avoid unrelated or unclear words.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents gave it to me when I was about eight years old. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You begin with a relevant answer, but the phrase “I have many bikes in the country” is unnatural and “People a horse” is unclear. State your opinion clearly, for example, “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Support it with a specific reason, such as their low cost, convenience, or use for exercise. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. Many people use them because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. Cycling is also becoming more popular as a form of exercise.

× People a horse.

✓ People ride horses.

The original sentence does not contain a verb. The verb ride is needed to explain what people do. Horses is plural because the sentence refers to horses in general.
