Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. For Part 1 you should give a direct, concise answer (one topic sentence) and then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers natural, relevant, and within five sentences. Avoid repeating the question and correct factual errors (e.g., say whether you did or did not have a bike).

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. However, I often borrowed my friend’s bike to ride around the neighborhood, especially during summer holidays, because my family thought it was safer than letting me go out alone.

Gợi ý: Your answer is unclear and off-topic: the examiner asked about the popularity of bikes in your country, not whether you own one or can build one. Begin with a clear direct answer about popularity, then give specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., because, however, for example). Use accurate vocabulary (popular, common, convenient, affordable) and avoid vague phrases like “we are not capable to build a new one.”

Ví dụ: Bikes are fairly popular in some cities but less common in rural areas. For example, in large towns many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient; however, in the countryside most people prefer motorcycles or cars due to longer distances and poor roads.

× No, I don't have a bike, though it is cheap.

✓ 'No, I don't have a bike, though they are cheap.'

'Bike' here refers to bicycles in general; the speaker is contrasting possession with general affordability. Using the singular 'a bike' combined with 'it is cheap' incorrectly mixes a specific item with a general statement. Replace with plural 'they are cheap' to refer to bikes in general, and use the plural verb 'are.' Alternatively, if the speaker means a particular bike, say 'No, I don't have a bike, though it is cheap to buy.' Suggestions: use plural when speaking about a category, or make the sentence explicitly about a specific item.'

× Uh, we are not capable to build a new one.

✓ 'Uh, we are not able to build a new one.'

'Capable' is normally followed by the preposition "of" and a gerund (capable of building), while 'able' is followed by an infinitive (able to build). The original sentence 'we are not capable to build' is ungrammatical. Options: use 'we are not able to build a new one' or 'we are not capable of building a new one.' Choose 'able to' here for naturalness. Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'we are' is correct.'
