Yes.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Your reply did not answer the question and confused the interaction. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two short supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural, relevant and no longer than five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to visit friends and to go to school, and it helped me become more independent. For example, I remember cycling ten minutes each day to reach my primary school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and lacks support. For Part 1 you should give a direct answer and then expand briefly with specific reasons or examples, using linking words like because, so, or for example. Keep it natural and concise (1–4 extra short sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For instance, in cities there are dedicated bike lanes and affordable shared-bike services, so lots of students and office workers cycle daily.
× What's your question?
✓ Which question do you mean?
The student's reply 'What's your question?' is grammatically correct but inappropriate for the context: the examiner asked 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' and the student should ask for clarification about which question the examiner meant. The original phrasing is more natural when seeking the content of a question already asked, but here a clearer, context-appropriate alternative is 'Which question do you mean?' This avoids ambiguity and fits the conversational context. Suggestion: use 'Which question do you mean?' or 'Do you mean whether I had a bike when I was a child?' to be explicit.
× Yes.
✓ Yes, they are.
The examiner asked 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' A one-word reply 'Yes.' is grammatically acceptable but lacks clarity and does not match the plural subject 'bikes.' A more complete response is 'Yes, they are.' which provides a clear subject and verb and agrees in number with 'bikes.' Suggestion: give a full sentence like 'Yes, they are' or 'Yes, bicycles are popular in my country' for clarity and completeness.
