Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: 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, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and use vocabulary relevant to childhood and cycling.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a small red bicycle when I was about seven. It had training wheels at first, but after a few months I learned to ride without them, which made me feel very proud. Because my neighborhood was quiet, I used to practice on the cul-de-sac every afternoon with my older brother.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an answer. Start with a direct opinion sentence (e.g., ‘Yes, I think...’ or ‘No, not really’) and then support it with specific reasons or examples, using linking words (for example, however, because). Limit to up to five sentences and use appropriate vocabulary like commuting, environment, or infrastructure.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bikes for short commutes because traffic can be heavy and public transport is expensive. However, in rural areas fewer people cycle often due to long distances and poor road conditions.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question rather than providing an answer. This is a sentence structure/content error: responses should be declarative when answering past-tense yes/no questions. Use past tense 'had' to match the question's past time frame and include a subject 'I'. If adding more detail, expand with short phrases (e.g. 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was small and blue.').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

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

The student's reply again repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. This is a sentence structure/content error: respond with a statement that matches the question's present-tense frame. Use 'I think' plus the clause 'bikes are popular in my country.' For a fuller response, add reasons (e.g. 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise.').
