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 or how you used it.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a blue bike when I was about eight years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence first: “Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.” Then explain why using natural grammar and precise vocabulary. Replace “it is very cheap transport” with “they are an inexpensive means of transport,” and replace “it can carry easily” with “they can easily take people from one place to another.” Avoid fillers such as “uh” and use a linking word such as “because” or “also” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are an inexpensive and convenient means of transport. They are especially common among students and people who live in crowded cities, as bikes can easily take them from one place to another without causing traffic.

× Just bikes are very popular in our country because it is very cheap uh, transport and it can carry uh, easily from one place to another.

✓ Bikes are very popular in our country because they are a very cheap form of transport and can easily take people from one place to another.

The noun bikes is plural, so the pronoun it is incorrect. Use they to refer to bikes. The verb are must also be used because bikes is plural.

× Just bikes are very popular in our country because it is very cheap uh, transport and it can carry uh, easily from one place to another.

✓ Bikes are very popular in our country because they are a very cheap form of transport and can easily take people from one place to another.

The phrase very cheap transport is possible in some contexts, but a very cheap form of transport is more natural and grammatically complete here. The singular countable noun form requires the article a.

× Just bikes are very popular in our country because it is very cheap uh, transport and it can carry uh, easily from one place to another.

✓ Bikes are very popular in our country because they are a very cheap form of transport and can easily take people from one place to another.

The adverb easily should normally be placed before the main verb in this sentence: can easily take. This position makes the sentence clearer and more natural.
