Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Give a full, natural response. Start with a topic sentence saying whether you had a bike, then add 1–2 specific details (when you got it, how often you used it, a memory) using a linking word. Keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences).

Exemplo: Yes, I did — I got my first bike when I was about seven. I used it almost every day to ride to the park with my friends, and I remember learning to ride without training wheels one summer, which felt very exciting.

Sugestão: Expand your answer with reasons and a specific example. Start with a clear opinion, then use linking words (for example, because, so) to explain why you think bikes are popular and mention a concrete context (cities, students, sport). Keep to 1–3 sentences beyond the topic sentence.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, in cities you often see students and office workers cycling to avoid traffic, and there has been more investment in bike lanes recently.

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I did.

The student response 'Yes.' is short and contextually acceptable in speech, but it lacks an explicit verb to match the examiner's past-tense question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'. According to the provided problem type list, this is a sentence without a verb (ID 23). A more complete answer is 'Yes, I did.' which supplies the auxiliary verb 'did' to echo the question's tense and make the response grammatically complete. Suggestion: when answering yes/no questions in tests, repeat the auxiliary or do-support from the question (e.g., 'Yes, I did', 'No, I didn't').

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I think so.

For the examiner's present-tense question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?', the short reply 'Yes.' omits the verb required to mirror the question's structure. This matches the 'sentence without a verb' problem (ID 23). A clearer, grammatically complete response is 'Yes, I think so.' which includes the present-tense verb 'think' and fits the question's tense and meaning. Suggestion: provide a short clause using the appropriate tense and verb (e.g., 'Yes, I think so', 'No, I don't think so').
