Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer repeats the examiner's question and uses incorrect grammar (tense and subject agreement). For Part 1 you should give a direct, natural response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Use past tense for childhood and keep it concise (1–3 sentences). Also avoid simply repeating the question. Example improvements: state whether you had a bike, when you had it, and a brief detail (why you liked it or how you used it).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was eight and used it every day to ride around the neighborhood with my friends, which helped me become more independent.

Sugerencia: Your answer again repeats the question and contains grammar errors (wrong tense and subject-verb agreement). For an opinion question use present tense and a clear topic sentence (Yes/No/To some extent), then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, therefore). Keep it natural and concise (1–3 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances, especially in cities with heavy traffic. For example, students and office workers often cycle to save time and money.

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

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The examiner's question uses past tense ('Did you have... when you were a child'), so the student should reply in simple past. The student's sentence incorrectly uses 'are' (present tense) with 'child'. This is a tense error and a pronoun/subject mismatch. Use 'I had' (simple past) and 'I was' (past form of 'to be') to match time reference. Suggestion: use simple past for both verb and 'to be' when talking about past time periods.

× Did you think a bike are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The examiner's question asks about present opinion ('Do you think...'). The student used past tense 'Did you think' and incorrect subject-verb agreement 'a bike are'. Two issues: tense should be present ('Do you think') and number/agreement should match ('bikes are' for plural or 'a bike is' for singular). Because the examiner asked plural 'bikes', correct reply is 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?'. Suggestion: match the question's tense and ensure subject and verb agree in number.
