Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, give a direct answer (yes/no or short statement) followed by 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, mention when you got it or how you used it, and add a brief reason or memory.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it as a birthday present when I was seven, and I used it to ride to school and to the park every weekend. Because there were few buses in my neighborhood, having a bike made getting around much easier.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the question instead of answering. Answer directly (e.g., yes/no or partly) and support your view with specific reasons or examples, using linking words to connect ideas. Mention who uses bikes, where they are common, or compare bikes to other transport.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in small towns and among students. For instance, many university students use bicycles to commute because they are cheap and convenient, whereas in big cities people usually prefer motorbikes or cars due to longer distances and traffic.

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

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The student's response repeated the examiner's question word-for-word, producing a question instead of an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because an answer requires a declarative sentence with a subject and past-tense verb. Change 'Did you have' to 'I had' to form a correct past-tense statement that matches the time reference 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: respond with a clear declarative sentence using the past simple (subject + past tense verb), e.g. 'I had a bike when I was a child.'

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student again repeated the examiner's question instead of answering, which is a sentence structure error (ID 26). An answer should be a declarative sentence. Beginning with 'Yes' (or 'No') followed by 'I think' produces a proper response and keeps the present-tense opinion with subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: answer questions with a full sentence that states your opinion, e.g. 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.'
