Part 1

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

Score: 20.0

Suggestion: Вы неправильно поняли вопрос и повторили его, не ответив. В устной части экзамена важно давать прямой ответ в настоящем или прошедшем времени, в зависимости от вопроса, и затем при необходимости добавить 1–2 поддерживающих предложения. Также следите за грамматикой: для вопроса в прошедшем времени используется «Did you have...», а ответ должен использовать «Yes, I did» или «No, I didn’t» и продолжение с past simple. Постарайтесь отвечать естественно, избегая прямого переспросa и не более 3–4 предложений в ответе.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was about eight, and I used to ride it to my friend’s house every afternoon. Although it was old, I enjoyed fixing it with my father and learning to ride without training wheels.

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Score: 15.0

Suggestion: Вы снова просто повторили вопрос вместо того, чтобы ответить. В таком случае вы теряете баллы за коммуникативность и полноту ответа. Отвечайте прямо («Yes» или «No» + краткое объяснение), а затем добавляйте 1–2 конкретных примера или причину, используя связки (for example, because, however). Не давайте длинных повторов вопроса — это выглядит как недопонимание или страх говорить.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular, especially in cities where traffic is heavy. For example, many people use e-bikes for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient, although car ownership is still common in rural areas.

Grammar

Tense error (present vs past)

× Do you have a bike when you were a child?

Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The student used present simple 'Do you have' for a past time reference 'when you were a child'. Use past simple 'Did you have' to match the past time. Suggestion: use past tense auxiliary 'did' plus base verb for yes/no questions about past events.

Tense mismatch (present question for general present)

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already correct. It uses present simple 'Do you think' to ask about a current opinion and 'are popular' to describe a current general situation. No change needed.
