Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: The student simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, respond directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no) and add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences. For example, mention whether you had a bike, who gave it to you or how often you used it, and a short reason or memory to make the answer specific.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, my parents bought it for my eighth birthday, and I rode it to school most days. Because the roads near our home were quiet, I felt safe practicing tricks with my friends on weekends.

Suggestion: The answer addresses the question but has grammar and clarity issues and is a bit general. Improve by starting with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific reason and an example. Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and linking words such as 'because' or 'however' for coherence. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences).

Example: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. This is mainly because many families cannot afford them, so people prefer cheaper forms of transport like walking or shared minibuses; for instance, in my neighborhood almost everyone uses a minibus to commute to the market.

× Umm, I think not really, because most of the people in our country doesn't have enough money to buy a bike.

✓ Umm, I don't think so, because most people in our country don't have enough money to buy a bike.

Errors: 'doesn't have' is incorrect because the subject 'most (people)' is plural, so the verb must be 'don't have' (subject-verb agreement / third person singular issue). Also 'I think not really' is unnatural; 'I don't think so' is the correct negative response. 'Most of the people' can be simplified to 'most people' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: match verb number to the (plural) subject: use 'don't' with plural subjects; use natural negative patterns like 'I don't think so'.
