Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Focus on understanding and repeating the examiner's question correctly before answering. Your response should be a direct answer in past tense (e.g., “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t”), followed by one or two concise supporting details. Keep sentences natural, accurate in tense, and avoid repeating the examiner’s words incorrectly. Use linking words if you add a reason or example (for example, because, so, when).

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle until I was about ten, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon because our neighbourhood was safe.

Sugestão: Answer directly and confidently with a clear opinion, then support it with one or two specific reasons or examples. Use present tense for general opinions and linking words such as because, for example, or therefore to make your answer coherent. Avoid uncertain phrases like “I don't know” when the question asks for your view.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise; for example, in the city there are many bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes that make cycling convenient.

× Did you have a pic when you are a child?

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

The sentence uses 'Did' which requires the past tense for the rest of the clause, so 'are' is incorrect; it should be 'were' (past of 'to be') to match the past question. Also 'pic' is likely a typo for 'bike'. Use 'were' for referring to a past time and correct the noun to 'bike'.

× I don't know. Maybe I have, but really I don't know.

✓ I don't know. Maybe I did, but really I don't know.

The question asks about the past ('Did you have...'), so the appropriate response uses the past tense 'did' rather than present perfect 'have'. Saying 'Maybe I did' matches the past-tense question. Keep the rest of the response in present tense ('I don't know') if indicating current uncertainty.
