Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct, grammatically correct, and give a bit more detail. Start with a clear topic sentence using the past tense (e.g., "Yes, I had a bike") and then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "for example"). Keep the answer natural and within 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school every day, and because my parents lived nearby I often cycled with my younger brother. For example, we would race to the park after school on weekends.

Gợi ý: Use present tense for general truths and expand with specific reasons or examples. Begin with a clear topic sentence (e.g., "Yes, bikes are popular") then explain why or give evidence, using linking words like "because", "for instance", or "in my city". Aim for 2–3 sentences that are natural and informative.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many people prefer them for short trips and to avoid traffic. For instance, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and many students and office workers cycle to commute.

× Yeah, of course I do. Had a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yeah, of course I did. I had a bike when I was a child.

The student uses present tense 'do' and an incomplete sentence 'Had a bike...' The question asked about past possession ('Did you have...?') so responses should use past tense. Use 'did' for short affirmative past ('I did') and a full past-tense sentence 'I had a bike...' Also include a subject in the second clause; avoid sentence fragments. Suggestion: match the tense of the question and use complete sentences. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Yes, bikes were popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

The examiner asked a general question about current popularity. The student used past tense 'were,' which implies they are no longer popular. To state general or current facts, use present tense 'are.' If the student meant past popularity only, they should add a time reference (e.g., 'used to be popular'). Suggestion: use present simple for current general facts or 'used to' for past habits. Grammar problem type ID:6
