Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a concise personal statement (1–2 sentences). Use correct grammar (include articles and tense) and add a brief supporting detail if helpful. For example, start with “Yes” or “No,” then give a short explanation using linking words (e.g. “because,” “so,” “when”).
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my parents bought one for me when I was seven. I rode it to school and around the neighborhood, so I became quite confident riding on busy streets.

Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Your answer is direct and relevant, but it is brief and could be improved by adding a specific reason or example and using linking words to make it more natural. Keep responses to no more than five sentences and include one supporting detail to show fluency and vocabulary range.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, in big cities many commuters choose bicycles to avoid traffic, and there are also dedicated cycle lanes that make biking safer.
× Did you have a bike when you were child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The sentence is missing the definite article 'a' before the noun 'child.' With the expression 'when you were a child' English requires the article to indicate a singular, countable noun. Use 'a child' for a nonspecific childhood period. Suggestion: include the article 'a' in similar expressions (e.g., 'when I was a child').
× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.
This sentence is grammatically correct and fits the present-tense general statement required by the question. No correction is needed.
