Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Provide a direct answer (yes/no) with a brief topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep your response natural and within five sentences. For example, say whether you had a bike, mention when you got it or who gave it to you, and add a short detail about how often you used it.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about seven years old. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present, and I rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day. Because I practiced a lot, I became quite confident riding on busy streets.

Sugestão: Do not simply repeat the question. Start with a clear opinion (Yes/No/Partly), then justify it with specific reasons and linking words (for example, because, however, therefore). Mention concrete examples such as bike lanes, commuting patterns, or cultural habits to make your answer more informative and natural.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances. For instance, cities have expanded bike lanes in recent years, so students and office workers often cycle to save time and money. However, in rural areas people rely more on motorbikes or cars due to longer distances.

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

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

The original is a repetition of the examiner's question rather than an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the student should provide a response with a verb and subject. Use the past simple 'had' to match the time frame 'when you were a child.' Suggestion: Answer directly with a past-tense clause (subject + past verb), and optionally add brief details (e.g., 'Yes, I had a red 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 original repeats the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Provide a full sentence with a subject and verb. Maintain present tense 'are' and 'think' because the question asks for a general opinion. Suggestion: Respond directly ('Yes, I think...') and you can expand with reasons ('because they are cheap and good for short trips').
