Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Begin with a clear response such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details about the bike, when you used it, or what you used it for.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old. I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends after school.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and avoid fillers such as “uh” and unfinished phrases. Explain why bikes are popular using clear linking words, and use accurate expressions such as “travel to college” rather than “travel for our colleges.” You could also distinguish between bicycles and motorbikes if relevant. Keep the answer to two or three complete sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. Many people use bicycles or motorbikes to travel to college and work because they are affordable and convenient. In addition, new models are launched regularly, so people have plenty of options.

✓ travel to college

Use to, not for, to show movement toward a destination. College is usually used without an article when referring to the general activity or purpose of attending college.
