Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct, answer in past tense, avoid repeating the examiner's question, and provide a brief reason or detail. Use a clear topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details with linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school and sometimes took the bus, because my family couldn’t afford one. As a result, I became used to walking long distances and enjoyed the exercise.

Gợi ý: Give a fuller, more specific answer: start with a clear opinion, then support it with reasons or examples and use linking words (for example, because, therefore). Avoid hesitation words like “uh” and use plural agreement (bikes are). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many people use bicycles for short trips and commuting because they are cheap and help avoid traffic, especially in cities.

× Hey, did you have a bike when you were a child? No, I don't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('Did you have... when you were a child?'), so the student's response must use past tense. Using 'I don't' (present tense) is incorrect. Replace with 'I didn't' to match the past-tense question and maintain tense consistency. Suggestion: use past tense auxiliaries (did/didn't) when answering past-time questions.

× Yes, uh, it's quite popular in my country.

✓ Yes, uh, they're quite popular in my country.

The question asks about 'bikes' (plural). The student's reply uses 'it's' (singular), causing a mismatch between the plural subject implied by the question and the singular pronoun 'it'. Use the plural pronoun 'they're' or rephrase 'Bikes are quite popular in my country.' to agree with the plural noun. Suggestion: identify the subject number (singular/plural) and choose matching pronouns and verb forms.
