Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Your answer is not an answer — it repeats the examiner's question with a pronunciation/spelling error ('bite' instead of 'bike') and does not respond. For Part 1 you must answer directly with a short, natural reply (1–3 sentences), using correct vocabulary. Improve by listening carefully, distinguishing similar-sounding words, and answering immediately. If you misheard, ask for clarification briefly (e.g. "Sorry, could you repeat that?") and then answer. Also include a brief supporting detail to reach higher marks.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle when I was about eight, and I rode it to school and to my grandparents’ house almost every day.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: The response again repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. This shows a failure to engage with the prompt. To improve, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no or short opinion), then add one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, so). Keep it concise and natural, up to 3–4 short sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips in cities. For example, there are dedicated cycle lanes in several towns, and bicycle-sharing schemes have become common in recent years.
