Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer does not respond to the examiner's question and contains grammatical errors. To improve: 1) Understand and answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no and brief detail). 2) Use correct past tense and simple subject-verb agreement. 3) Add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "so"). Keep your response under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it to school because my house was close by. It helped me spend time outdoors and made me feel independent.

Sugerencia: Your reply repeats the examiner's question and contains vocabulary and grammar mistakes. To improve: 1) Give a clear opinion in the topic sentence (e.g., "Yes, they are" or "No, they aren't"). 2) Support your opinion with specific reasons or examples using linking words such as "because," "for example," or "also." 3) Use correct nouns and word order ("bikes are" not "by so").

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities there are bike lanes and many students ride to school, which makes cycling a common choice.

× Do you have a bike when you were tired?

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

The examiner asked about the student's childhood, so the past simple tense should be used. The student's reply uses present tense 'Do you have' and changes the time reference to 'when you were tired', which is incorrect. Use 'Did you have' for past possession and keep the time phrase 'when you were a child' to match the question. Suggestion: use past simple for past situations and repeat or mirror the time expression from the question.

× Do you think by so popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student's sentence is ungrammatical: 'by so' is incorrect and the structure doesn't match a yes/no question about popularity. The correct form repeats the subject 'bikes' and uses 'are popular' (present simple) to ask about general truth. Suggestion: keep the subject and verb of the topic ('bikes are popular') and form the question with 'Do you think ...?' to express opinion about current general facts.
