Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no + brief detail), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and no more than 4–5 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used it to ride around my neighborhood every weekend. Because my parents wanted me to be safe, they always accompanied me at first, and I learned to ride without the wheels by the age of seven.

Sugerencia: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. To improve, state your opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples and use linking words (for example, because, therefore). Keep answers concise and relevant.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are affordable and help avoid traffic, and some cities have bike-sharing schemes that make cycling convenient.

× 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. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error: an answer requires a subject and verb expressing possession in the past. Use past simple 'had' to match the time reference 'when you were a child.' Suggestion: Respond directly with 'Yes, I had...' or 'No, I didn't have...' and add a brief elaboration if needed.

× 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 a response. This is a sentence structure/pragmatic error: an answer should state agreement or disagreement and use the appropriate tense. Here present simple 'think' fits the question. Suggestion: Answer directly with 'Yes, I think...' or 'No, I don't think...' and provide a reason or example.
