Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly instead of repeating it. Say whether you had a bike, then add one relevant detail, such as when you rode it or who taught you.

Example: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was about seven. My father taught me how to ride it in a nearby park, and I used it almost every weekend.

Suggestion: Give your opinion directly and support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid turning the examiner’s question into another question.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities with dedicated cycling lanes. Many people use them for short commutes because they are affordable and convenient.

× You think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

In a present simple question, use the auxiliary do before the subject you. The original sentence omits do, so its word order is incorrect for a standard question. The first student response is grammatically correct, so it is not included.
