Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You misunderstood the question tense and person. The examiner asked about your past (childhood), so reply using past tense and first person. Keep it concise (1–4 sentences), start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word (e.g., because, so, when). Also correct grammar: 'Did you have' → answer 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't.'

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was about eight, my parents bought me a small red bike with training wheels, and I rode it every weekend because there was a quiet park near our home.

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering and made a pronunciation/typing error ('buys' instead of 'bikes'). Start with a clear opinion (Yes/No/Somewhat), then give one or two specific reasons linked with words like 'because' or 'for example'. Use appropriate vocabulary (popular, common, convenient, commuting). Keep answers natural and within 1–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially in cities, because many people use them for short commutes and to avoid traffic; for example, there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes in several urban areas.

× Do you have a bike when you are children?

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

The student used present tense 'do you have' and plural 'children' while the examiner's question asked about past experience of one child. This is a tense issue (should be past) and a number/person issue. Use past simple 'did you have' and singular 'a child' or 'when you were a child' to match the original meaning. Suggestion: Use past simple for past experiences and match singular/plural appropriately. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Do you think buys are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student wrote 'buys' which is a wrong word; the correct noun is 'bikes'. This is an incorrect word choice likely due to pronunciation confusion, and also 'buys' is a verb form not a plural noun. Keep present simple 'do you think' because the question asks about a general present fact. Suggestion: Listen for the noun 'bike' and write 'bikes' as the plural form when asking about general popularity. Grammar problem type ID:26
