Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Begin with a direct response, such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” then add one specific detail about your experience.

Example: Yes, I did. I got a small red bike when I was about seven, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and use the present-tense phrase “I think bikes are…” rather than “Did you think.” Avoid repeating “bike,” and support your opinion with a relevant reason or example.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them for short trips because they are convenient and inexpensive.

× Did you think bike bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The examiner asks for your opinion in the present tense, so use Do you think rather than Did you think. Keep the auxiliary verb in the present tense to match the question.

× Did you think bike bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Bike is repeated unnecessarily before bikes, making the noun phrase incorrect. Use bikes once as the plural subject of are popular.
