Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have.” Then add one specific detail, such as how you got around or whether you wanted a bike.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school, although I sometimes borrowed my friend’s bike on weekends.

Suggestion: Answer the question about bikes, not bags. Listen carefully for the key noun, then give a clear opinion and support it with a specific reason or example.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. They’re an affordable way to get around, and some people use them to avoid traffic.

× I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question refers to the past, as shown by 'when you were a child.' Use the past-tense form 'didn't have' instead of the present-tense form 'don't have.'
