Pontuação: 10.0Sugestão: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Use a clear topic sentence and add one brief supporting detail, such as when you used the bike or who gave it to you. For example, begin with “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t.”
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about seven years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Your answer is direct and includes a clear reason. To make it more natural and developed, avoid the absolute word “everyone,” use a more precise phrase such as “many people,” and add a specific example or comparison. You could also mention that bikes may still be popular for exercise or among young people.
Exemplo: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular as a means of transportation in my country because many people prefer to travel by car or bus. However, cycling is becoming more common for exercise, especially in parks and along rivers.
