Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two brief supporting details (e.g., when you got it, how you used it, or who taught you). Keep it natural and under five sentences, and use a linking word if you add more than one detail.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was seven, and my parents bought it so I could ride to a nearby park. Because I practised every day, I learned to balance quickly and felt very confident riding with my friends.

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and concise but could be improved by adding a specific reason or example and using a linking word to connect ideas. Expand slightly with concrete details about who uses bikes, where they are used, or a brief comparison to other transport modes, while keeping it natural and within five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they’re a convenient way to get around short distances. For example, many students and office workers cycle to university or work, and in city centres bike lanes make cycling faster than driving during rush hour.

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

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure and context issue (ID 26). Use a declarative past-tense response to match the question about past possession: 'I had a bike when I was a child.' Suggestion: answer briefly and directly in the past tense when asked about past experiences.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are convenient to move.

✓ Yes, I think bicycles are popular in my country because they are convenient for getting around.

The original uses 'bikes' which is acceptable but 'convenient to move' is unnatural and grammatically awkward (ID 6 Present tense issue and ID 11 Incorrect use of prepositions). 'Convenient for getting around' or 'convenient for transportation' is the natural expression. Also 'bicycles' is a slightly more formal choice. Suggestion: use 'convenient for getting around' to express the idea of easy travel within places.
