Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. To improve, respond directly with a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details (max 5 sentences). Use linking words if you add details. For example, begin with “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” then explain when, what kind, or why briefly.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was six, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every weekend. Because it had training wheels at first, I felt confident learning to balance quickly.

Gợi ý: The student again repeated the examiner's question and used incorrect tense. To improve, answer directly, give a clear opinion, and support it with specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “however”). Keep to a maximum of five sentences and natural phrasing.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country because many people use them for short journeys and exercise. For example, in cities there are bike lanes and shared-bike schemes, although they are less common in rural areas due to long distances.

× 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. The examiner asked a past-time question, so the correct response uses the past simple tense ('I had'). Use subject 'I' and past verb 'had' to state possession in the past.

× Did you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The student used past tense 'Did you think' while the examiner's question asks about the present general opinion. Use the present simple question form 'Do you think' when asking about current beliefs. Maintain 'are popular' for present state.
