Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and use past tense for past situations. Give a brief topic sentence then add one or two supporting details (max 5 sentences). Use linking words like “but” or “however” if adding contrast. Be specific about why you didn’t have a bike and any related memory to make the answer more natural.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I grew up in a crowded city where my family preferred me to walk or take public transport, so there wasn’t much space to keep a bike. However, I often borrowed my friend’s bike to ride in the park on weekends.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with natural phrasing, avoid filler words like “uh,” and expand with specific supporting details using linking words (for example, “because,” “for example,” or “as a result”). Mention who uses bikes, common reasons for popularity, and give a brief example or consequence to make it more informative.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many students and office workers cycle to save time in traffic, and in some cities there are dedicated bike lanes, which makes cycling safer and more attractive.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about the past: 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' This requires a past tense response. Using 'do/does' is present tense and incorrect here. Use the past tense auxiliary 'did' with the base verb: 'I didn't (have)'. Suggestion: When answering yes/no questions in the past formed with 'did', respond with 'Yes, I did.' or 'No, I didn't.'

× Yes, uh, the bike is popular in our country because it is easy to use.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because they are easy to use.

The question asked generally about bikes, so use the plural form 'bikes' rather than 'the bike'. Also, match the plural subject with the plural verb 'are' and plural pronoun 'they'. The original sentence mixed singular 'the bike' with the general meaning and used 'it' which is inconsistent for a general category. Suggestion: Use plural nouns and matching verbs/pronouns when speaking about things in general (e.g., 'Bikes are popular... because they are...').
