Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Correct the pronunciation and word choice: the student said “bite” instead of “bike” and omitted articles and tense accuracy. Give a direct, concise answer (1–2 sentences), then one supporting detail. Use linking words if adding details. Be natural and avoid redundancy.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. For example, I used to ride it to a nearby park every weekend because my parents wanted me to get exercise.

Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: The student repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering. Always respond directly with a topic sentence, then add a specific supporting detail using a linking word (e.g., “because,” “however,” “for example”). Keep answers natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For instance, in cities you can see many bike lanes and shared-bike services that make cycling convenient.

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The student wrote 'bite' instead of the correct noun 'bike' — this is a word choice (vocabulary) error. Also they omitted the article 'a' before 'child'; the correct phrase is 'a child'. Correction: replace 'bite' with 'bike' and add the article 'a' to form 'when you were a child'. Suggestion: pay attention to similar-sounding words (minimal pairs) and include necessary articles with nouns referring to people (a child).
