Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Give a direct answer with a short topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words if you expand. Keep it natural and within 3–5 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I got a second-hand bicycle when I was eight, and I used it to ride to my friend’s house every weekend. Although it was small and a bit rusty, it helped me become confident cycling in my neighborhood.

Sugestão: Give a fuller answer rather than a one-word response. Start with a clear opinion, then add specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, however, for instance). Keep answers concise and natural.

Exemplo: Not really — I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because many people prefer cars for convenience. For instance, cities lack safe bike lanes and public transport is often more reliable, so most adults choose motor vehicles over cycling.

× 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 instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26): an answer requires a subject and a verb expressing the fact (affirmative past). Use the simple past tense 'had' to match the question 'Did you have...?' and include a subject 'I'. Suggestion: Answer directly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.' to clearly respond.

× I don't think so.

✓ No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.

The student’s short reply is grammatically acceptable but too short and incomplete for the question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' This falls under present tense/appropriateness (ID 6). To fully address the question use the present simple 'do/does' and a clear subject. Provide a fuller sentence that states the opinion and, if possible, a brief reason: 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because many people prefer cars.' Suggestion: Use full sentences that match the present simple question form and add a reason if appropriate.
