Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence, then add 1–2 supporting details. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). Use linking words like “because” or “so” if you add reasons or examples.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school and around my neighborhood almost every day because it was faster than walking. As a result, I became confident riding in traffic early on.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question rather than answering. State your opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words such as “however,” “for example,” or “because” to connect ideas and keep your answer within 1–5 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you often see bike lanes and rental bikes, although car use is still common for longer journeys.

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

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

The original student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/response error. The question is in the past simple ('Did you have...'), so the correct answer should be a past simple statement ('I had'). Begin with an explicit yes/no or direct statement and include the subject and past tense verb. Suggestion: answer using past simple (I had) and provide brief detail if needed, e.g. 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student again repeated the examiner's question rather than providing an answer. The question uses present simple ('Do you think...'), so the response should use present simple as well ('I think'). Provide the subject and verb to form a complete sentence. Suggestion: respond with present simple ('I think bikes are popular in my country') and optionally add reasons or qualifiers.
