Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no) and then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences. For example, start with “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.” then add where or how you used it and a specific memory or reason.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it almost every day to ride to my friend’s house and to the park, which helped me stay active. Because our neighborhood was safe and close to school, cycling was an easy and fun way to get around.

Sugerencia: The answer addresses the question but has grammar and word-choice issues and is slightly repetitive. Improve by using a clear topic sentence, more specific supporting details, and linking words to make it coherent. Vary vocabulary (commute, run errands) and correct phrases (‘to do errands’ or ‘run errands’). Keep it concise (1–3 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them to commute to work and to run errands, especially in crowded cities where cycling is faster than driving. Additionally, bike-sharing schemes and dedicated lanes have made cycling more convenient and safer.

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

✓ Yes, I did.

The student's repetition of the examiner's question is a sentence structure error: they repeated the question instead of answering it. A concise affirmative answer 'Yes, I did.' fits the past-tense question and completes the exchange. Suggestion: answer directly to yes/no questions using 'Yes/No' plus appropriate auxiliary verb (did) or give a brief full answer like 'Yes, I had a bike.'

× I think bikes are popular in my country because people tend to use bikes to go out, to earn errands, to go to work like that.

✓ I think bikes are popular in my country because people tend to use bikes to go out, to run errands, and to go to work.

There are multiple issues here but the primary error matching the list is incorrect use of prepositions/verbs: 'to earn errands' is incorrect; the correct phrasal verb is 'to run errands.' Also 'to go out' and 'to go to work' are fine but the list-like phrase should use 'and' rather than 'like that.' Suggestion: replace 'to earn errands' with 'to run errands' and change the final phrase to 'and to go to work.' Use parallel structure when listing purposes (use the same verb form for each item).
