Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a direct past-tense response, expand with 1–2 supporting details, and avoid tense errors. Use a topic sentence in past tense (e.g., "Yes, I did.") and then add specific details (when you got it, who gave it, what you liked doing) linked with a connector such as "and" or "so." Keep to 2–4 short sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a small red bicycle when I was seven, and I rode it to school every day. I loved riding around the neighborhood with my friends because it felt freeing and fun.

Gợi ý: Answer directly about popularity, then give specific reasons and examples using linking words (because, for example, therefore). Use present tense for general facts. Mention who uses bikes, where, or compare with other transport to make the answer concrete and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many students and office workers cycle to work in the city to avoid traffic and save money.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' is in the past tense. The student's reply uses the present tense auxiliary 'have', which is incorrect. Use the past tense auxiliary 'did' to match the question's tense: 'Yes, I did.' This ensures subject-verb tense agreement with the past-time reference. Suggestion: When answering yes/no questions in the past, respond with 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't.'

× Yes, I agree it's easy to use.

✓ Yes, I agree; they're easy to use.

The examiner asked whether bikes are popular in your country (plural 'bikes' and present tense). The student's sentence 'it's easy to use' incorrectly uses singular 'it' and contracts for 'it is', referring to a singular item. To refer to bikes in general, use the plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are': 'they're easy to use.' Also adding a semicolon or conjunction improves clarity: 'Yes, I agree; they're easy to use.' Suggestion: Match the number (singular/plural) of the pronoun to the noun and keep present tense for general statements.
