Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Do not repeat the examiner's question back as your answer. Provide a direct response with a topic sentence, one or two supporting details, and a linking word if needed. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. It had training wheels at first, but after a few months I learned to ride without them, which made me feel very independent. I used to ride it to my friend’s house and around the neighborhood almost every day.

Sugerencia: Avoid echoing the question. State your opinion clearly, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, moreover, however). Stay within 1–5 sentences and use relevant vocabulary.

Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are fairly 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 convenient, and bike lanes have been added in several urban areas to make cycling safer.

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

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of giving a proper answer; this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The question is past tense (Did you have...), so the correct short answer uses past simple: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' Suggestion: answer questions rather than echoing them; match the tense (past simple) and include subject and verb for clarity.

× 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 answering; this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The question is present simple asking for opinion, so a proper response is 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: give a complete opinion sentence in present simple, include subject and verb, and avoid repeating the question verbatim.
