Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a short topic sentence (yes/no) and one or two supporting details. Keep answers natural, avoid repetition, and limit to up to five sentences. Use linking words (for example, because, so, when) to make it coherent.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. It was a small blue bicycle with training wheels, and I used it to ride around my neighborhood every afternoon. Because my parents lived near a park, I often practiced there with my friends, which helped me become confident riding without the training wheels after a few months.

Sugerencia: Again you repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an opinion. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your view, then add one or two specific reasons or examples to support it. Use linking words (for instance, because, moreover, however) to connect ideas and keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and shared bike programs, so students and office workers often cycle to save time and avoid traffic, especially during warm months.

× Did you have a bike when you were a child?

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The original 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' repeats the examiner's question rather than answering it. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). To answer a past simple yes/no question, use the past simple affirmative: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' If negating, use 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' Ensure the verb stays in past simple ('had') to match the question's tense.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The original repeats the examiner's question instead of providing an answer, which is a sentence structure error (ID 26). To reply directly, use present simple: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' If giving a negative answer: 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Keep the verb forms in present simple to match the question's tense.
