Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Avoid repeating the examiner's words as a question. Instead, answer directly with a clear topic sentence, give one or two brief supporting details, and use linking words if needed. Keep your answer natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, state whether you had a bike, then add a specific detail (age, how often you rode, or a memory) using a linking word such as “and” or “so.”

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike from the age of six. I rode it to school almost every day, and it helped me learn balance and independence. I still remember fixing the chain with my father once, which made me proud.

Sugestão: Don’t repeat the examiner’s question back—answer it directly with a topic sentence stating your opinion, then give specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, so, however) to connect ideas. Aim for 2–4 sentences with relevant vocabulary about popularity, transport, or culture.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and help avoid traffic, although car ownership is increasing so some areas are less bike-friendly.

× Did you have a bike when you were a kid? Child?

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

The original student reply repeats the examiner's question and adds 'Child?' which is unnecessary and makes the sentence fragmented. This is a sentence structure error because there is no clear main verb or complete response. Correcting to 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' provides a complete past-tense statement matching the examiner's past-tense question. Suggestion: provide a full sentence with a subject and past-tense verb (I had) and avoid repeating the question word.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it, resulting in an incomplete interaction. This is a sentence structure issue because it fails to present a clear response. The corrected sentence gives a direct answer using the present simple tense appropriate for stating opinions. Suggestion: answer the question rather than echoing it, using 'I think' plus a clear clause.'
