Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly in the past tense, give a brief reason or context, and avoid grammar mistakes. Use one topic sentence plus one supporting detail with a linking word. Keep it natural and concise.

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took my parents' motorbike, so I never learned to ride one.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion and add specific reasons or comparisons using linking words (for example, because, however, although). Use present tense for general statements and provide a brief example or consequence to make the answer more informative.

Ví dụ: No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because public transport and cars are more common; for example, most families own a car for daily travel, so cycling is rare except for leisure.

× No, I don't have it.

✓ No, I didn't have one.

The examiner's question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the past tense. The student answered with the present simple 'don't have,' which is a tense mismatch. Use past simple 'didn't have' to match the past-time reference. Also use the indefinite noun 'one' instead of the pronoun 'it' because no specific bike was introduced earlier. Suggestion: Match the tense to the question by using past simple and use 'one' for a nonspecific singular countable noun (e.g., 'No, I didn't have one.').

× No, bikes are not popular in our country.

✓ No, bikes are not very popular in my country.

The examiner's question is general present tense about the popularity of bikes; the student's sentence is grammatically acceptable but could be improved. 'Our country' may be less appropriate in this one-to-one interview; 'my country' is more natural. Adding an adverb like 'very' clarifies degree. Maintain present simple for general facts. Suggestion: Use 'my country' in personal responses and add an adverb if you want to indicate degree (e.g., 'No, bikes are not very popular in my country.').
