Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeats the examiner's question and contains grammatical errors (tense and subject). In Part 1 you should answer directly with a topic sentence, then add 1–2 supporting details. Keep answers natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For this question, correct the tense and person, state whether you had a bike, and add a brief detail or reason using linking words (for example, 'Yes, I did. When I was about eight...' or 'No, I didn’t, because...').

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was about eight I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me, and I rode it to visit friends in the neighborhood. However, I rarely rode long distances because I lived on a busy street, so I usually cycled in the park instead.

Gợi ý: You simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Provide a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words. Aim for 2–3 sentences total. Use relevant vocabulary (popular, common, commute, environment, health) and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities, because many people use them to commute short distances and avoid traffic jams. For example, bike-sharing programs and dedicated cycle lanes have increased cycling in recent years.

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

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

The student mixed past and present tenses, which creates an incorrect time reference. The examiner asked about past possession ('Did you have...'), so the clause referring to the time period should also be in the past: 'when you were a child.' Use the past simple 'were' for the state of being in childhood. Suggestion: keep both clauses consistent in past tense when asking about past situations (e.g., 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. The present simple 'do you think' is appropriate for asking opinions, and 'are popular' correctly uses present simple plural verb to match 'bikes.' No change is needed.
