Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve tense accuracy and expand briefly with one clear supporting detail. Start with a correct past-tense topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.”), then add one or two specific details (where you rode it, who taught you, or a short memory). Keep to under five sentences and use linking words like “and” or “because” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it around my neighborhood every afternoon after school, and my older brother taught me how to balance on it. Because of that, I became more confident riding in traffic later on.

Sugerencia: This answer is unclear and contains irrelevant words. Give a direct opinion in one topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.”), then support it with a clear reason and a specific example. Use linking words such as “because”, “for example”, or “so” to make your explanation coherent. Avoid unrelated words or fragments.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, students often cycle to school and parents sometimes teach their children to ride in parks, so cycling is part of daily life.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked a past-tense question ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?') so the student should answer in past tense. 'Have' is present tense and does not match the question. Use 'did' as the past-tense auxiliary to form a short answer: 'Yes, I did.' If you want to be more specific, you can say 'Yes, I had a bike.' Suggestion: Match the tense of short answers to the question (use past tense for past questions).

× Of course, normally when people are young parents.

✓ Of course, bikes are normally popular when people are young.

The student's reply is ungrammatical and incomplete. It seems they intended to say that bikes are popular among young people. The original sentence fragments 'when people are young parents' misplaces 'parents' and creates a clause without a main verb. The corrected sentence provides a clear subject and verb and places modifiers correctly. Suggestion: State the main idea first (subject + verb) and then add time or group information (e.g., 'when people are young').

× Had cheese a bite for a student.

✓ They are cheap and useful for students.

This sentence is ungrammatical and appears to be a random jumble of words. It likely attempts to convey that bikes are affordable ('cheap') and convenient for students. 'Had cheese a bite' is meaningless here and 'for a student' mismatches singular/plural and context. The corrected sentence uses appropriate vocabulary and grammar to express the intended idea. Suggestion: Use clear vocabulary and standard word order (subject + verb + object/adverbial) and ensure adjectives match the noun ('cheap' not 'cheese').
