Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your response shows misunderstanding of the question and contains a grammatical error (‘friend’ instead of ‘child’). For Part 1, answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details. Keep it natural, brief (max 5 sentences), and use linking words if you add details. For example, correct the vocabulary, use past tense, and give a specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle with training wheels, and I used it to ride to my friend’s house almost every day. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I learned to ride without assistance by the time I was seven.

Sugestão: Your answer is direct but too short and vague. For a higher score, keep the topic sentence but add specific supporting details and a linking word to explain why bikes are popular (e.g., convenience, cost, or culture). Use concrete examples or comparisons to make the response more informative and natural.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. For instance, many students and office workers ride bikes to avoid traffic, and some cities have extensive bike lanes and rental schemes that encourage cycling.

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

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

The student used the pronoun phrase 'a friend' incorrectly to refer to their childhood period. The examiner's question uses 'a child' to ask about age, so the correct pronoun/reference is 'a child'. Replace 'a friend' with 'a child' to match the intended meaning and the examiner's tense and context. Suggestion: Use the correct noun to refer to age or stage of life (child, teenager, adult) rather than 'friend'.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in the country.

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

Saying 'the country' is ambiguous and often incorrect when referring to one’s own nation; 'my country' is the appropriate possessive expression here. Use 'my' to show that you are talking about your own country. This matches the examiner's question 'in your country'. Suggestion: Use 'my country' when referring to the nation you belong to; avoid 'the country' unless the context clearly identifies which country.
