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 brief specific details or a short example. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences and use linking words if you add details.

Exemplo: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels and I used it to ride to my friend’s house every day. Because of that, I became confident riding on my own by the age of seven.

Sugestão: Your answer is direct but too short and lacks supporting details. Improve by expanding with one or two specific reasons or examples and a linking word to make it coherent. Keep responses natural and avoid redundancy; aim for 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and many students ride to school, so cycling is both convenient and affordable.

× 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 issue because a question was used where a declarative answer was required. Correct response should be in past tense and first person singular to match the question: use 'I had' rather than repeating 'Did you have'. Suggestion: answer questions directly by using an appropriate tense and subject (e.g., 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.').

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

The student used 'our country', which is not incorrect grammatically but is less appropriate in a one-to-one interview where the speaker should refer to their own country with 'my'. This is a present tense declarative sentence; the main correction is pronoun choice (treated here under present tense issue per provided list). Suggestion: use 'my country' in personal responses: 'Yes, bikes are popular in my country.'
