Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer repeats the examiner's question and uses incorrect grammar. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a topic sentence, then add 1–2 brief supporting details using correct tense and linking words. Specifically, use past tense (“I had” or “I didn’t have”) and avoid repeating the question. For example, start with “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child,” then add a short detail like where you rode it or who taught you, using a linking word such as “because” or “so.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school because it was my main way to visit friends. As a result, I grew up quite confident riding in traffic.

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. For this question use present-tense and give a clear opinion followed by one or two specific reasons or examples. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “however” to make your response coherent. Keep it concise (1–3 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities you can see dedicated bike lanes and many students commuting by bicycle.

× Did you have a bike when you are child?

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

The sentence uses 'Did' which indicates past tense, so the time clause must also be in past tense. 'are child' is incorrect because 'are' is present tense and 'child' needs an article. Use past tense 'were' and include the article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense in both main and time clauses: 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. The present simple 'Do you think' with 'are popular' appropriately asks about a general current situation. No changes needed.
