Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Your answer repeats the examiner's question and contains grammatical errors and hesitation. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a clear topic sentence, then briefly add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural, concise (no more than 5 sentences), and avoid echoing the question. Fix tense agreement (use simple past) and remove repetition.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school and around my neighborhood almost every day, which helped me become more independent. Because the roads near my home were quiet, I felt safe practicing new skills like turning and braking.

Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Your answer repeats the examiner and includes repetition. Instead, give a direct opinion sentence, then support it with specific reasons and linking words (for example, 'because' or 'however'). Use vocabulary related to popularity (common, widely used, commuting) and be concise.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, cities with dedicated bike lanes see a lot of cyclists during rush hour, although usage is lower in rural areas where distances are larger.
