Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Start with a direct response, then add one or two specific details, such as when you learned to ride or where you used your bike.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You answer the question, but correct the subject–verb agreement: say “bikes are.” Also, “bugs” does not make sense here; you may mean “bike lanes” or “places to ride.” Explain one clear reason and add a specific detail.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many cities have bike lanes and public bike-sharing schemes. They’re a convenient and affordable way to travel short distances, especially during rush hour.

× I think bikes is very popular in my country because it has a lot of bugs where a lot of people can use the bikes.

✓ I think bikes are very popular in my country because it has a lot of bugs where a lot of people can use the bikes.

The plural subject bikes requires the plural verb are, not is. Match the verb to the subject in number: use are with plural subjects and is with singular subjects.
