Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Answer directly, then add a brief specific detail, such as what kind of bike you had or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

Suggestion: Make the subject agree with the plural noun “bikes”: say “they are popular,” not “it’s popular.” You could also support your opinion with a specific reason or example.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines, especially in smaller towns. Many people use them for short trips because they’re affordable and convenient.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asks about a past situation using 'Did you have...?' The answer should use the past-tense auxiliary 'did' to match the question. When answering with a short response, use 'Yes, I did.'

× Yes, in the Philippines it's popular.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in the Philippines.

The question asks about bikes, which is plural, but 'it' is singular and does not agree with that noun. Use 'bikes' or the plural pronoun 'they' and the plural verb 'are.' For example: 'Yes, they are popular in the Philippines.'
