Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Also the tense is wrong (“are” should be “were”). To improve: answer directly with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific supporting details, use correct past tense, and keep it under five sentences. For example, state whether you had a bike, mention age or frequency of use, and add a brief reason or memory using a linking word (e.g. “because” or “so”).

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I started riding it at about seven and used it almost every day to go to my friend’s house. Because my neighborhood was quiet, my parents felt safe letting me ride around. I remember learning to balance from my older cousin, which made me feel very proud.

Gợi ý: Again, you echoed the examiner instead of answering. Also there is no content, no opinion, and no supporting details. Improve by giving a direct opinion (yes/no/partly), then add specific reasons or examples, and use linking words (for instance, “because,” “however,” “for example”). Keep answers natural and concise (1–4 sentences).

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in small towns and cities. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes because they are cheap and convenient. However, in large cities cars and motorcycles are more common due to longer distances and traffic.

× Did you have a bike when you are a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The sentence mixes past tense question 'Did you have' with present tense time clause 'when you are a child.' The time clause should match past time, so 'are' must be changed to past 'were.' Use consistent past tense in both parts of the sentence. Suggestion: When talking about past states or habits, use past tense in time clauses (e.g., 'when I was a child').

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is already grammatically correct. The main verb 'do' (present simple) matches the present-tense question, and 'are popular' correctly uses the present plural form for 'bikes.' No change is needed. Suggestion: None; the sentence correctly uses present simple for current general opinions.
