Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeats the examiner's question and uses the wrong tense and pronoun. For Part 1 you should answer directly in past tense (e.g., “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t”), give a brief topic sentence, and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and within 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me for my seventh birthday, and I rode it to school and around the neighborhood. Because the roads near our home were quiet, I felt safe practicing new tricks and gained a lot of confidence.

Gợi ý: Again, you echoed the examiner's question instead of answering it. Answer directly (e.g., “Yes, they are” or “Not really”), then support with specific reasons and a linking word. Use relevant vocabulary like “cycling culture,” “commuting,” or “infrastructure.” Keep it concise and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially in cities. In many urban areas people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and there are dedicated cycle lanes, although in rural areas cars are still more common.

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

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

The examiner asked a question about the past ('when you were a child'), so the verb in the question must be in the past tense. The student used 'Do you have' (present tense), which is inconsistent with the time reference. Use the past simple 'Did you have' to match 'were' and indicate a completed action in the past. Suggestion: Match the question verb tense to the time reference; for past situations use 'Did + subject + base verb'. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Do you think bikes are popular in our country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The examiner asked the student about the examiner's country contextually ('in your country'). The student replied using 'our country', which changes the perspective and can be incorrect in a test dialogue where 'your' refers to the examiner's country. Also, the question is in present tense and otherwise grammatically correct. Suggestion: Use 'your' to refer to the listener's country when answering a question directed at you about their viewpoint.
