Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You did not answer the examiner's question and repeated it with several grammatical errors. Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: “Did you have...?” Answer directly with “Yes” or “No,” and then add one specific detail or reason.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bike, and I usually rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You repeated the question instead of giving your opinion. Use the plural noun “bikes” because you are speaking about bicycles in general, and begin with a clear opinion such as “Yes, I think they are.” Support your answer with a specific reason or example.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. Many people use them for exercise and short trips because they are affordable and environmentally friendly.

× Do you have a bike when we're a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The question asks about a past period, indicated by when you were a child. Therefore, use the past-tense auxiliary did and the past-tense form have. In questions with did, the main verb remains in its base form: Did you have, not Did you had.

× Do you have a bike when we're a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The subject is the listener, so use the pronoun you, not we. Also, were is the past-tense form of be used with you. The contraction we're means we are and refers to the present, so it is incorrect here.

× Do you think bike are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The sentence refers to bicycles in general, so use the plural noun bikes. The plural noun correctly matches the plural verb are. Use a singular noun, a bike, when referring to one bicycle.
