Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear statement about your childhood experience, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Be natural and keep it to no more than five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, mention how often you used it and one specific memory or reason why it was important to you.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I rode it almost every day to visit friends and explore my neighbourhood, which helped me become more independent. For instance, I remember cycling to the park with my brother every weekend.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then support it with specific reasons and examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example", "however"). Avoid small grammatical errors and redundancies; keep answers concise (maximum five sentences). Add a specific example or statistic to make your response more convincing.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are convenient for short trips and are affordable for many people. For example, students often cycle to university, and there are also many inexpensive second-hand bikes available in local markets. However, in big cities some people prefer scooters or public transport for longer commutes.

× Yes, I think it's popular because it's very convenient and the prices varies.

✓ Yes, I think it's popular because it's very convenient and the prices vary.

The subject 'prices' is plural, so the verb must match plural subject. The student used 'varies' which is third-person singular. Change to 'vary' to agree with plural subject (subject-verb agreement). Suggestion: identify the subject number and use correct verb form (prices + plural verb 'vary').

× It could be cheap, it could be expensive.

✓ They can be cheap or expensive.

Repeating 'It could be...' creates awkward structure and mismatches pronoun number: 'bike(s)' or 'bikes' are plural in context. Use 'They' to refer to bikes and 'can' to express general possibility. Combine into one concise sentence: 'They can be cheap or expensive.' This improves cohesion and matches plural pronoun with verb.

× So yeah.

✓ So yes.

Although 'So yeah' is conversationally acceptable, 'yeah' is informal. In a test context, use 'yes' for standard English. This is not a strict grammatical error but a register issue; prefer 'So yes.'
