Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and clear: start with a short topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using correct grammar and linking words. Fix tense and article errors, and avoid unclear phrases like "It is a presence." For example, use past tense consistently ("I had") and give a brief detail about when or why the bike was special. Keep your answer to no more than 4–5 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a white bicycle that my parents gave me for my seventh birthday. I remember learning to ride it in the park near our house, and I used it every weekend to visit my friends. It was special because it had a bell and a little basket.

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly with a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Avoid asking the examiner questions or complaining. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however' to connect ideas. Keep it concise (1–3 sentences) and appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'popular', 'common', 'mainly used for').

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. However, in big cities they are less common for commuting due to heavy traffic and limited bike lanes.

× Yeah, of course I have.

✓ Yeah, of course I had.

The question asks about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?') so the student should use the past tense. Using 'have' is present tense and mismatches the time reference. Change to 'had' to match past context. Suggestion: use past simple for past events ('I had').

× I had a white bicycle in my childhood.

✓ I had a white bicycle when I was a child.

'In my childhood' is not wrong but sounds unnatural here; 'when I was a child' is the common collocation in English. Also keep past tense 'had' to match the time frame. Suggestion: use natural time expressions like 'when I was a child'.

× It is a presence.

✓ It was a present.

The student likely means the bicycle was a gift. 'It is a presence' is ungrammatical and uses wrong word choice. Use past tense 'was' to match the time frame and correct noun 'present' (gift). Suggestion: say 'It was a present' or 'It was a gift'.

× All of my seven years old birthday.

✓ It was for my seventh birthday.

The phrase 'All of my seven years old birthday' is ungrammatical. Age should be expressed as 'seventh birthday' (ordinal) and 'seven years old' is used with a noun ('I was seven years old'). Also 'all of' is unnecessary. Use 'for my seventh birthday' to state it was given on that occasion. Suggestion: use ordinals for birthdays and proper adjective order.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes were popular in your country when you were a child?

Although this line is the examiner's question and not the student's error, if the student intends to answer about past popularity they should match tense. However, no correction needed for grammar as original is correct for a general present-time question. If answering about the past, use past tense. Suggestion: match tense to the time frame you mean.

× Why I can't listen to you when you hide the words?

✓ Why can't I hear you when you hide the words?

The student uses incorrect word order for a question in English. In questions with 'why' and auxiliary verbs, the correct order is auxiliary + subject + main verb ('can't I hear'). Also 'listen to you' is used when intentionally paying attention; when someone is not audible, 'hear you' is more appropriate. Suggestion: use correct question inversion and choose 'hear' when referring to audibility.
