Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Pay attention to the key words “bike” and “child,” and distinguish the pronunciation of /b/ in “bike” from the ending sound in “bite.” You should give a clear yes-or-no answer and add one specific detail, such as when you rode the bike or who gave it to you.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was about eight, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Respond to the question rather than repeating it. Clearly pronounce and use the word “bikes,” then state your opinion and support it with a specific reason or example. Use a linking word such as “because,” “especially,” or “for example” to make your answer more coherent.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. In particular, many people use bicycles for exercise, while others ride them to work or school.

The noun should be bikes, not Bai. Because the question asks about bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes. The plural noun correctly agrees with the verb are. Remember to use the plural form when talking about a type of object in general.
