Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Pronunciation and accuracy: you misheard and repeated the examiner's question with mistakes. First, listen carefully and try to answer rather than repeat the question. Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep answers concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, correct the noun (bike) and use past tense if talking about childhood. Improve clarity by speaking slowly and checking words you’re unsure of.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, which my parents bought for me when I was six. Because I rode it to the park every weekend, I became confident cycling on my own.

Suggestion: Comprehension and grammar: you again repeated and distorted the examiner's question, showing confusion. Focus on understanding the question: use present tense and correct vocabulary (bikes). Start with a direct opinion, then support it with a specific reason and a linking word (e.g., because, therefore). Avoid repeating the question back. Also correct subject-verb agreement (bikes are).

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For instance, cities have bike lanes and many students ride to school, so cycling is a common and convenient choice.

× Did you have a back when you were child?

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

The student used the wrong noun 'back' instead of 'bike' and omitted the article 'a' before 'child'. This is an incorrect use of vocabulary/pronouns category; map it to 'Incorrect use of pronouns' because a wrong referent was used. Correction: replace 'back' with 'bike' and add the article 'a' before 'child' to form the correct question in past tense. Suggestion: Listen carefully to the examiner's word and confirm unfamiliar vocabulary; practice common childhood nouns and use 'a' with singular countable nouns like 'child'.

× Did you think Mike are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student changed the verb tense and used the wrong subject and verb agreement. The examiner asked about general present opinion: 'Do you think ... are popular?'. The student wrote 'Did you think' (past) and 'Mike are' which is incorrect subject and verb agreement for third person singular proper noun 'Mike' would require 'is' not 'are'. Also the intended subject is 'bikes' (plural). Correction: use present simple 'Do you think' and plural subject 'bikes are'. Suggestion: For opinions use present simple 'Do you think...' and ensure subject and verb agree: singular subjects take 'is/does', plural take 'are/do'.
