Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a better score, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no plus brief detail), add one or two supporting details using linking words, keep it natural and concise, and avoid repeating the question. Be specific about age, who gave the bike, what kind it was or how you used it.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle my parents bought me for my seventh birthday, and I used it to ride to school and play with friends. Because it had training wheels at first, I learned to balance gradually and felt very proud when I could ride without them.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct opinion in a topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and linking words (for example, because, moreover, although). Mention who uses bikes, in what contexts (commuting, leisure), and any trends or comparisons to make your answer informative and natural.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes and exercise because traffic can be heavy and cycling is cheaper than driving. Moreover, in recent years there has been a rise in bike-sharing schemes and dedicated lanes, which has encouraged more people to cycle regularly.

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

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

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure/use issue: a question requires an answer. Use past simple 'had' to match the past time reference 'when you were a child.' Suggestion: respond directly with a short answer (Yes/No) plus a past-tense clause, e.g., 'Yes, I had 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 rather than answering. This is a present tense reply needed: use present simple 'think' to express current opinion and 'are popular' for general present truth. Suggestion: answer directly, e.g., 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are very popular here.'
