Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, always provide a direct topic sentence that answers the question, then add one or two brief supporting details. Keep responses natural, avoid redundancy, and use linking words if you add details (for example: “Yes, I did. When I was about seven…” or “No, I didn’t, but …”).

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it for my seventh birthday and rode it every weekend around the neighborhood. Because my area was quiet and safe, I often rode with my friends, which helped me become more confident and active.

Sugestão: Your answer addresses the question but has some inaccuracies and awkward phrasing (humidity is not the main reason bikes are popular). To improve, start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific, relevant reasons and a brief example. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “also” to connect ideas. Avoid irrelevant environmental descriptions and choose more accurate reasons (e.g., cost, traffic, health, short distances).

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in the Philippines because they are an affordable and convenient way to navigate crowded streets. For example, many people use motorcycles or bicycles for short trips to the market, and delivery riders on bikes are very common in cities. Also, some people cycle for exercise or to avoid traffic during rush hour.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because the Philippines is a humid country and people mostly use it to freshen up or just to travel.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because the Philippines is a humid country and people mostly use them to get around or just to travel.

The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to 'bikes' which is plural; use the plural pronoun 'them' (pronoun agreement). Also, 'freshen up' is unnatural for describing travel; 'get around' or 'travel' better fits the meaning. Replace 'use it to freshen up' with 'use them to get around' to match number and collocation. Additionally, 'travel' alone is fine but pairing with 'get around' clarifies daily use.
