Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question, so it did not answer. Give a direct, short answer (topic sentence) and one or two supporting details. Use linking words if adding details. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon. Because it had training wheels at first, I learned to balance gradually, and by the time I was ten I could ride confidently without them.

Sugestão: Again you repeated the question instead of answering. State your opinion clearly, then add a specific reason or example. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) to make your point coherent and keep responses concise.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country. For example, many people use bicycles for short trips in cities because they are cheaper and avoid traffic, and recently bike-sharing systems have made cycling more common.

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

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

The original student repeated the examiner's question verbatim instead of answering it. This is a sentence structure error (type 26) because the response lacks a main clause that answers the question. Correct response should use past tense 'had' to match the question's past time frame and include a subject and verb. Suggestion: answer directly using appropriate tense (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn\'t have 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 repeated the examiner's question instead of answering, which is a present tense usage problem (type 6) because an answer should use the present tense but as a statement. The correction provides a complete declarative sentence with subject and verb in present simple ('I think') to match the question. Suggestion: respond directly to questions by forming a statement that reflects your opinion (e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don\'t think bikes are very popular here.').
