Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it. Respond directly with a clear topic sentence, and then add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, how often you used it, or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends. It was a simple blue bike, but I really enjoyed using it.

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner's question rather than giving your opinion. Start with a direct answer, such as “Yes, I do” or “Not really,” and support it with a specific reason and example. Use a linking word such as “because,” “although,” or “for example” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who want to exercise. For example, many people cycle in parks and along the river at weekends. However, cars and motorcycles are still more common for daily commuting.
