Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, give a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (age, how often you rode, or a memorable experience). Keep it natural and concise (no more than 4–5 sentences) and use linking words like “and” or “when” for coherence.

Exemplo: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was seven and rode it to school and to the park almost every day. It was bright red, and riding it helped me feel independent and confident.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the examiner. Instead, state your opinion directly, then support it with reasons and a specific example. Use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “however” to make the answer coherent. Aim for 2–4 sentences with relevant vocabulary (commute, environment, fitness, traffic).

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in big cities you often see people cycling to work to avoid traffic, and there are also more bike lanes now to encourage cycling.

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

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

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering; this is a sentence structure/response error. The question is past tense ('Did you have'), so the correct short answer uses the past simple ('I had'). Provide a full affirmative sentence to show comprehension. Suggestion: answer questions rather than echoing them, and match tense (past simple here).

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

Again the student repeated the examiner's question instead of responding; this is a sentence structure/response error. The question is present simple ('Do you think'), so a correct response uses present simple ('I think'). Use a complete sentence that reflects your opinion. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes/No' and a supporting clause in present simple for present-time opinions.
