Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Respond directly with whether you had a bike, then add a brief detail or reason. Use the past tense when describing your childhood.

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

Suggestion: You repeated the question rather than giving your opinion, and changed “Do you think” to “Did you think,” which changes the meaning. Answer in the present tense and support your opinion with a specific reason or example.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re an affordable way to get around, and many people use them for short trips.

× Did you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The examiner asks for your current opinion, so use the present-tense auxiliary do, not the past-tense did. The first student response is grammatically correct, so it does not need a grammar correction.
