Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Ответ слишком короткий и содержит грамматическую ошибку во времени. Нужно отвечать прямо и развивать мысль одной-двумя дополнительными фразами, используя правильную форму прошедшего времени. Также полезно добавить констекст (например, где вы катались и с кем). Используйте связки для плавности.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a red bicycle when I was about eight, and I often rode it around the park near my home. It was my main way of getting to my friends' houses, so I used it almost every day.

Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Ответ в целом понятен, но есть некоторая тавтология и простая лексика. Улучшите связность ответа, добавив конкретные примеры, причины и связующие слова, а также избегайте повторов (например, "ride a bike" и "popular sport").
Ví dụ: Yes, I think cycling is quite popular in my country. For example, many people use bicycles for short commutes and there are regular weekend group rides, so it’s both a convenient transport option and a common recreational activity.
× Yes, I have.
✓ Yes, I did.
The examiner asked about a past possession ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?') so a simple past response is required. 'I have' is present tense (and incomplete as a response). Use 'I did' or 'Yes, I had' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I did' or 'Yes, I had a bike' to clearly indicate past possession.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of people ride a bike and it's a popular sport.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of people ride bikes and it's a popular sport.
There is inconsistency between plural 'a lot of people' and the singular noun 'a bike'. When referring generally to many people riding, use the plural form 'bikes'. Using 'a bike' suggests a single bicycle per person which is less natural here. Suggestion: use 'ride bikes' or rephrase as 'ride a bicycle' if referring to the activity in general (e.g., 'a lot of people ride a bicycle' is less natural than 'ride bikes').
