Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Your answer repeats the examiner's question instead of responding. For Part 1 you should reply directly with a short, natural statement (1–3 sentences). Also correct grammar: use past tense "were" and avoid echoing the question. Give one clear detail (e.g., age when you got it or how often you used it) to enrich your response.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about seven, and I rode it around my neighborhood every afternoon until I was twelve.

Điểm: 15.0Gợi ý: Again, you echoed the examiner instead of answering. Provide a direct opinion and one specific reason or example. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "however") to make your answer coherent and slightly extended but keep it concise.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting, especially in cities where traffic is heavy.
× Did you have a bike when you are were a child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The sentence mixes past and present tense by using 'are' before 'were'. The question is about a past situation, so only the past tense 'were' is needed. Remove the unnecessary 'are'. Suggestion: use 'when you were a child' for past-time reference.
× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses present simple appropriately for a general opinion and correctly uses the plural 'bikes' and the adjective 'popular'. No change needed.
