Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Give a direct answer first, then add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, what it looked like, or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and it was bright red with a small basket on the front. I usually rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You repeated the question rather than giving your opinion. Start with a clear response, such as “Yes, I think they are.” Also, use the plural noun “bikes” when talking about bicycles in general, and support your opinion with a specific reason or example.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people and delivery workers. They are convenient and inexpensive, and many people use them to avoid traffic in busy cities.
