Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. In Part 1 you should answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add 1–2 brief supporting details. Keep it natural, relevant and no more than 3–4 short sentences. Use linking words (for example, "and", "so", "because") if you add reasons or examples. Also avoid mistakes (you wrote "Bags" later) and stay on topic.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to the park every weekend. Because I practiced a lot, I learned to ride without training wheels within a few weeks.

Sugerencia: Your answer attempts to respond but contains errors and irrelevant words ("Bags") and an off-topic phrase ("What are you talking?"). Improve by giving a clear opinion in a topic sentence, then add specific reasons or examples linked with words like "because" or "for example." Keep it concise (2–3 sentences) and use context-appropriate vocabulary ("bikes" not "bags").

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short journeys and commuting to work. For example, in the city center you can often see bicycle lanes and many students cycling to school.

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

✓ Yes, I did.

The student repeated the examiner's question rather than answering. This is a sentence structure/response error (ID 26). Provide a brief past-tense answer matching the question. Use 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't' to respond to 'Did you...?' rather than echoing the question.

× Yeah, I think so. Bags are popular in my country because I see a lot of bikes everywhere.

✓ Yeah, I think so. Bikes are popular in my country because I see a lot of them everywhere.

The student wrote 'Bags are popular' instead of 'Bikes'—this is likely a typographical or pronoun/reference error (ID 12). Also 'a lot of bikes' is acceptable but 'a lot of them' avoids repetition. Correct the noun to 'Bikes' to match context and use 'them' for smoother reference.

× What are you talking?

✓ What are you talking about?

The student omitted the preposition 'about' needed in the phrasal verb 'talk about' (ID 26). The correct question form is 'What are you talking about?' Use complete phrasal verbs when forming questions to convey the intended meaning.
