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: “Did you have...?” Add one specific detail, such as how often you used the bike or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, especially at weekends.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion and support it with a clear reason and a specific example. Use linking words such as “because,” “especially,” or “for example” to make your answer coherent. Aim for two or three sentences rather than leaving the question unanswered.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. They are convenient and inexpensive, and many people use them to travel short distances.

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

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

The question refers to a completed period in the past, indicated by when you were a child. Therefore, use the past auxiliary did instead of the present-tense auxiliary do. After did, use the base form have.
