Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Respond directly with “Yes” or “No,” then add one brief detail about the bike or how you used it.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You answer the question and give relevant examples, but the list is repetitive and the final phrase is unclear. Use the plural “bikes” or “motorbikes” as appropriate, say “most people,” and organize your examples into one or two sentences with a clear reason. Avoid repeating “in fact” and “couples.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short trips. Many people use them to commute to work, deliver food or groceries, and visit local shops and parks because they are convenient and affordable.

× Actually, they are popular because most of the people in my country use bike for the day-to-day activities, for going to offices, for delivering food, for delivering groceries and in fact for going to the marketplace, for going to the parks.

✓ Actually, they are popular because most of the people in my country use bikes for the day-to-day activities, for going to offices, for delivering food, for delivering groceries, and in fact for going to the marketplace and the parks.

Bike is a singular countable noun and cannot normally be used without an article in this sentence. Since the speaker is talking about bikes in general, use the plural form bikes. Use the plural form when referring to a type of item generally.

× In fact, the couples couples use bike to travel here and there.

✓ In fact, couples use bikes to travel here and there.

Bike is used to refer to a general means of transport, so the plural form bikes is appropriate. Also, couples is repeated; remove the repetition so the sentence is clear.
