Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it concise (maximum 5 sentences) and use relevant vocabulary (e.g., bicycle, ride to school, balance bike, neighborhood).

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it for my seventh birthday, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon. Because the streets near my home were quiet, I felt safe practising tricks and improving my balance. Overall, it became my favourite way to spend free time.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving your opinion. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g., Yes/No/I think so), then give specific reasons and link them logically (e.g., because… therefore…). Mention concrete examples (commuting, exercise, government bike lanes) and keep answers natural and concise.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, commuters in cities often choose bicycles to avoid traffic, and some towns have dedicated cycling lanes which encourages riding. As a result, cycling is becoming more common among students and office workers.

× 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 giving an answer. This is a sentence structure/communication error: a question requires an affirmative or negative response, not repetition. Correction: provide a short past-tense answer matching the question's tense. Use subject + past-tense verb (I had) and optionally add details (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child'). Suggestion: Practice responding directly to yes/no questions by starting with Yes/No and then a past-tense statement. For example, 'No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child' or '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 instead of answering. This is a sentence structure/communication error: the expected response is an opinion statement, not echoing the question. Correction: respond with present-tense opinion using subject + present-tense verb (I think) and elaborate if desired. Suggestion: Begin with Yes/No or a direct statement such as 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country' or 'I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.' Practice turning questions into brief answers and adding reasons.
