Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For Part 1 you should answer directly with a short, natural statement (1–3 sentences), then add one supporting detail if relevant. Use past tense for childhood and a linking word if you add extra information. For example, start with “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” then give a brief reason or memory.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle when I was about eight, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon. Because our neighborhood was quiet, I felt safe practicing new tricks on weekends.

Sugestão: Again, you repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. For opinion questions use a clear topic sentence (“Yes” or “No” or “I think...”), followed by 1–2 supporting details and a linking word like “because” or “for example.” Mention specific reasons or examples (e.g. transport, environment, leisure) to make your answer more convincing.

Exemplo: I think bikes are quite popular in my country, mainly for short trips and exercise because traffic is often heavy. For example, many people cycle to the nearest shops or use bike-sharing schemes in big cities.

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

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The original student response repeated the examiner's question instead of providing an answer; this is a sentence structure/response error. The question is past tense ('Did you have'), so the correct short answer uses past simple: 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' Suggestion: answer questions rather than repeating them; use past simple for past possession: subject + past verb (had).

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The student's reply duplicated the examiner's question instead of answering. The question is present simple asking opinion, so the reply should be in present simple: 'I think bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: respond to opinion questions with a clause such as 'I think...' or 'Yes, they are...' and keep present simple tense for general opinions.
