Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Give a direct past-tense answer, add a short topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid present tense for past events and avoid one-word replies. For example, say when you had the bike, who gave it to you or how you used it.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle from around age seven, which my parents bought for me. I used it every day to ride to the park and learn tricks with my friends, so it became one of my favorite childhood possessions.

Sugestão: Answer with a clear subject-verb agreement and expand with specific reasons and linking words. Use present simple for general facts and provide examples or comparisons to support your opinion. Avoid vague short answers and give at least one concrete reason.

Exemplo: Yes, they are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, cities have bike lanes and rental schemes, so students and office workers often choose bikes over cars to save time and money.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I had.

The examiner asked about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student must use past tense. The original sentence uses present perfect ('have'), which is incorrect for a completed past situation. Use the simple past 'had' to match the question and indicate past possession. Suggestion: answer past yes/no questions with simple past ('Yes, I had' or 'No, I didn't').

× Yes, it's very popular.

✓ Yes, they're very popular.

The question asks about 'bikes' (plural). The student replied with 'it's' which is singular and does not agree with the plural subject. Use the plural pronoun and verb contraction 'they're' or 'they are' to match 'bikes'. Suggestion: identify the noun number in the question and make sure the subject and verb in the response agree in number ('bikes' -> 'they are'/'they're').
