Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response repeated the examiner’s question but changed a single word and did not answer. For Part 1 you must directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence and then add 1–2 short supporting details. Keep answers natural, relevant and no more than 5 sentences. Specifically, here you should say whether you had a bike, give a brief reason or a simple memory, and use linking words if you add details (for example: "Yes, I did. When I was about eight..." or "No, I didn’t because...").

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it as a birthday present when I was eight, and I used to ride it to the park every afternoon. Because my parents lived near a quiet road, I felt safe practicing there.

Sugestão: The response again simply repeated the examiner’s question and contained a grammar mistake (“bike” instead of “bikes”), and did not provide an answer or details. To improve, answer directly (Yes/No/Partly) and follow with specific reasons or examples, using linking words to connect ideas (for example: "Yes, they are popular because...", "They are becoming more popular because..."). Aim for 2–3 sentences with precise vocabulary (e.g., commuting, cycling lanes, environmental benefits).

Exemplo: They are becoming more popular in my country. In recent years many people cycle to work because cities have built dedicated cycling lanes and bikes are cheaper than cars, especially for short trips.

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

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

The student answered the examiner's question about a bike but used 'bag' instead of 'bike', which is a wrong noun (lexical error). This falls under incorrect use of pronouns/nouns as it misidentifies the item asked about. Correction: use the noun 'bike' to match the question and use past simple 'had' to fit the past tense 'Did you... when you were a child?'. Suggestion: pay attention to the question word and maintain the same lexical item in the answer; use past simple for actions or possession in the past (did → had).

× Do you think bike are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The subject 'bike' is singular while the verb 'are' requires a plural subject. This is a subject-verb agreement error. Correction: make the noun plural 'bikes' to agree with the plural verb 'are', because the question asks about the general popularity of bicycles (plural). Suggestion: ensure noun number (singular/plural) matches the verb form; for general statements about a thing's popularity, use plural noun with 'are' or singular with 'is' depending on meaning (e.g., 'Is the bike popular?' vs 'Are bikes popular?').
