Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 15.0Sugerencia: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. In Part 1 you should give a direct, natural answer with 1–4 supporting sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief fact), then add one specific detail or short example. Use linking words (e.g., "and", "so", "because") to make it coherent. Keep answers concise and avoid echoing the question.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that I used to ride to my friend’s house every weekend, and I learned to ride it when I was six. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I felt safe practicing there, and that gave me a lot of confidence.
× Did you have a bike when you were a child?
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/response error. The question asks about past possession, so use past simple 'had' to state possession. Begin with a short affirmative 'Yes,' if answering directly. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' to match the past tense and provide a clear answer.
× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.
The student left this question unanswered. To answer, use present simple 'think' for current opinion and 'are' for the general fact about popularity. Start with 'Yes,' or 'No,' and then give the opinion: 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' For more detail, add reasons in present simple: 'They are popular because they are cheap and convenient.'
