Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is short, uses incorrect tense, and lacks detail. Use past tense for a past-time question, give a clear topic sentence, and add one or two supporting details (reason, brief description or memory) using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I grew up in a small apartment and my parents preferred I play in the communal garden, so they never bought one. However, I sometimes borrowed a neighbour’s bicycle to ride to the park.

Sugestão: The reply is vague and too short. Give a direct statement, then support it with a specific reason or example using a linking word (for example, because, since, or however). Use a fuller sentence and relevant vocabulary (commuting, cycling infrastructure, recreational).

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short-distance commuting because there are dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes in most urban areas.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the response should use past tense. 'I don't' is present tense and does not match the past auxiliary 'did'. Use 'I didn't' (did not) to correctly negate a past action. Suggestion: For past yes/no questions with 'did', respond with 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't.'

× Apparently yes.

✓ Yes, they are.

The examiner asked 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' This requires a clear present-tense statement about bikes (plural noun). 'Apparently yes' is informal and vague; it also omits the subject and verb. Provide a full sentence matching the present tense and subject-verb agreement: 'Yes, they are' or a more complete answer like 'Yes, bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: Use a full present-tense sentence with subject and verb for clarity.
