Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it and contains a grammatical error (“were were”). For a better score, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), add one or two concise supporting details using linking words, and avoid repetition. Keep your answer natural and within five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, my parents bought me a small red bicycle when I was six, which I used to ride to the park every weekend. Because it had training wheels at first, I learned to balance gradually and soon rode without them.

Sugerencia: You again repeated the examiner’s question and used the wrong tense. Instead, give a direct opinion (Yes/No/Partly) as a topic sentence, then add a specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., “because” or “for example”). Use present tense for general opinions. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, in cities there are bike lanes and shared-bike programs that make cycling convenient for daily errands.

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

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

The student repeated 'were' and used the question form instead of answering the examiner's past-tense question. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Suggestion: Remove the duplicate word 'were' and change the question form 'Did you have' to a past affirmative 'I had' or 'Yes, I had' to match the examiner's past-tense question. Note: The response should be a statement, not a question.

× Did you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student used past-question 'Did you think' when the examiner asked a present-opinion question 'Do you think...'. This is a tense mismatch, categorized as a present tense issue (ID 6). Suggestion: Use present simple 'I think' to express current opinions; do not use auxiliary 'Did' which forces past tense.
