Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct answer (yes/no or brief statement), then add 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural, concise, and no more than five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I rode it to visit my friends every afternoon. Because I practised regularly, I became confident riding without training wheels within a few months.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question instead of responding. State your opinion clearly first, then support it with specific reasons or examples and a linking word (for example, because, therefore, however). Keep answers natural and under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use e-bikes and shared bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and avoid traffic. However, in rural areas cars are more common due to longer distances and fewer bike lanes.

× '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 it. This is a sentence structure/response error: answers to past-tense yes/no questions should be in past tense and include a subject and verb. Suggestion: respond with a complete past-tense sentence like "Yes, I had a bike when I was a child." or a negative "No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.".'

× 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?'

✓ 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'

'The student repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. For present-tense opinion questions, respond with a full sentence expressing the opinion. Suggestion: answer using present simple, e.g. "Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country." or "No, I don't think bikes are very popular.".'
