Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer did not respond to the examiner’s question and contained pronunciation and word-choice errors (“bite” instead of “bike”) and an unrelated clause. To improve, first restate the question as a direct statement about your past (topic sentence). Then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words (for example, “because” or “so”) to make your reply coherent. Also practice pronunciation of key words (bike, childhood) and listen to native sentences to avoid substitution errors.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I used it to visit friends in the neighborhood and practice riding on weekends, so I became quite confident riding on busy paths.

Sugerencia: The student repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. This shows misunderstanding. To improve, answer directly with a clear opinion (topic sentence), then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “however.” Keep answers concise (no more than five sentences) and practice forming complete statements rather than questions.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, cities have bike lanes and rental schemes, so cycling is a convenient option for commuters.

× Did you have a bite when you were worried?

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

The student used the wrong word 'bite' instead of 'bike' and changed the meaning by using 'worried' instead of 'a child'. This is a vocabulary and sentence structure error rather than a specific tense or agreement mistake. Suggestion: listen for the examiner's words and use the appropriate noun; match the time phrase 'when you were a child' to the examiner's question to keep meaning consistent.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The sentence omits the noun 'country' after the possessive determiner 'your', making the sentence incomplete. This is an issue of missing word/incorrect sentence structure. Suggestion: include the noun that 'your' modifies (e.g., 'your country' or 'your city') to complete the sentence and make it grammatically correct and clear.
