Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Use the past tense because the question refers to your childhood: say “When I was a child,” not “when you're a child.” Add one specific detail, such as how often you rode the bike or where you used it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, and I enjoyed cycling with my friends.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and grammatically understandable, but it is too short and includes hesitation. Support your opinion with a clear reason and a specific example. You could mention commuting, exercise, environmental benefits, or the popularity of bike-sharing services.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. Many people use them for short journeys because they are affordable and convenient. In addition, bike-sharing services have made cycling more accessible in large cities.

× Did you have a bike when you're a child?

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

The question refers to a period in the past, so the verb be must be in the past tense: were, not the present-tense form are in you're. Use were with you when describing a past situation: When you were a child.
