Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Provide a direct past-tense answer, expand slightly with one or two specific supporting details, and use correct grammar. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, mention why you didn’t have one or what you used instead. Use linking words if you add details.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus because my family lived far from my friends. Occasionally I borrowed a neighbor’s bike on weekends.

Gợi ý: Give a clearer, grammatically correct statement and support it with specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) to connect your ideas, and avoid vague phrases. Keep to a maximum of 5 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, children often ride to school and adults use bicycles for commuting in cities with heavy traffic. In addition, recent improvements in bike lanes have made cycling safer and more common.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The question uses past tense 'Did you have...' so the response must also use past tense. Using 'don't have' (present tense) is inconsistent. Use 'didn't have' to indicate lack of a bike in childhood. Improve by aligning verb tense with the question: 'did' + base verb for questions and 'didn't' + base verb for negatives in past simple.

× Yes, it's popular since many kids are using bikes.

✓ Yes, they're popular because many kids use bikes.

The examiner asked about general popularity in the present. 'It's' is singular while 'bikes' is plural; subject should be plural 'they're' or rephrase 'bikes are'. Also 'since' can imply reason or time but 'because' is clearer for reason. 'Are using' (present continuous) suggests happening right now rather than general habit; simple present 'use' is appropriate for general statements. Improve by matching plural subject and using simple present for habitual actions: 'They're popular because many kids use bikes.'
