Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and uninformative. Provide a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. For example, explain why you didn't have a bike and mention what you did instead. Keep it natural and within 3–5 sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, my parents preferred that I walk to school because it was nearby, and they thought walking was safer. As a result, I mostly walked or used public transport to get around, so I didn’t learn to ride until I was a teenager.

Gợi ý: You did not answer this question. Give a direct opinion as the topic sentence, then support it with one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words. Be concise and natural, and avoid repeating the question.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and help avoid traffic, and recently bike-sharing schemes have made cycling even more common.

× No, no.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asked about past possession ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), which requires a full clause with an auxiliary verb. The original reply 'No, no.' is conversational but not a grammatically complete response. Use the past-tense auxiliary 'did' with the base verb 'have' to form a proper negative: 'No, I didn't.' This aligns subject and verb and clearly answers the yes/no question.

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

The examiner asked about the present general situation ('Do you think bikes are popular in your country?'), which requires present-tense form. An appropriate response uses the present simple 'are' for general facts and 'think' in present simple for the speaker's opinion. The original transcript had no answer; the correction provides a grammatically correct, complete sentence in present simple. Alternative acceptable forms: 'No, I don't think they're very popular.' Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense when stating opinions about current situations.
