Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer repeats the examiner’s question instead of responding. Also the grammar is incorrect (tense mismatch) and there is no content. To improve, respond directly with a clear topic sentence about whether you had a bike, add one or two specific supporting details (age, how often you rode, a memorable moment), keep to under five sentences, and use correct past tense. Use linking words like “when” or “and” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and rode it to school and around the neighborhood every day. Because it was a small red bicycle with a basket, I especially remember riding to my friend’s house after school.

Sugerencia: Again, you simply repeated the examiner’s question instead of giving an opinion. To improve, state your opinion directly (yes/no/partly), then support it with specific reasons or examples (urban cycling, public bike schemes, or cultural habits). Use linking words like “because,” “however,” or “for example” and keep answers concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people cycle to work to avoid traffic, and several cities have public bike-sharing programs that make cycling convenient.

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

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

The student used present tense 'are' with 'when you are a child' but the question asks about the past, indicated by 'Did'. Use past tense 'were' for the time clause referring to childhood. Suggestion: match clause tense to the main verb; use 'were' for past-time reference.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already correct. The present simple 'do you think' and 'are popular' correctly ask about current general opinion and state. No change needed.
