Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct short answer (yes/no) followed by 1–2 supporting details. Keep it natural, up to 5 sentences, and use linking words like “because” or “so” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I got a small red bicycle when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends in my neighborhood almost every day. Because I practiced a lot, I became confident riding on busy paths.

Sugerencia: Again you repeated the question instead of giving your opinion. Start with a clear statement (e.g. “Yes, they are” or “No, not very popular”), then give specific reasons and a brief example. Use linking words such as “however,” “because,” or “for example.” Keep responses concise and relevant.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities, because many people use them to avoid traffic and save money. For example, bike-sharing schemes have grown recently, so commuters often cycle short distances instead of driving.

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

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

The student's response repeated the examiner's question rather than answering. This is a sentence structure/pragmatic error (ID 26). Provide an affirmative short answer fitting the past tense of the question: use past simple 'had' for possession. Suggestion: Answer directly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.' to match the tense and form of the question.

× 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. This is a sentence structure/pragmatic error (ID 26). Provide a direct response that matches the present-tense question: use 'I think' plus present simple 'are' to describe general truth. Suggestion: Respond with 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.' to convey opinion clearly.
