Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct response with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and within five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes – I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I rode it to visit friends and go to the park. Because I practiced every day, I became confident riding on quiet streets, which helped me learn road safety early.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer and supporting detail. Improve by using more precise vocabulary, correcting minor grammar, and adding a linking phrase to make it more coherent. Also give a brief example or reason to make the statement more specific.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many people commute by bicycle because it is cheaper and faster in congested cities, so you often see bike lanes filled during rush hour.

× Yes, there are.

✓ Yes, they are.

The student used 'there are' to refer back to 'bikes' in general popularity, but the question asks if bikes are popular; the appropriate short answer is 'Yes, they are.' Use 'there are' to state existence/quantity (e.g., 'There are a lot of bikes'), and use 'they are' to refer to the subject 'bikes' when describing a quality (popular). Suggestion: replace existential 'there are' with the pronoun 'they are' when describing bikes' popularity. Additionally, in the following sentence 'There are a lot of people who use bikes and most of the people go to their jobs by bike, so I think they are quite popular in my country.' there is an unnecessary 'There are' at the start; better: 'A lot of people use bikes, and most people go to work by bike, so I think they are quite popular in my country.' This improves clarity and uses correct pronouns and collocations ('go to work').
