Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer does not address the examiner's question. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a clear topic sentence about whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep your answer natural, relevant, and under five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to visit my friends and to go to school on weekends. Because my neighborhood was quiet and safe, I spent a lot of time practicing tricks and learning to ride without training wheels.

Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and asking to repeat is unnecessary unless you truly didn't hear the question. Instead, answer directly with a clear opinion and one or two specific reasons or examples connected by linking words to make your response coherent.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many people use bicycles in cities to avoid traffic, and some towns organize weekly cycling events, which encourages more people to ride.

× Today I want to practice English with you.

✓ Yes. I had a bike when I was a child.

The student’s reply does not answer the examiner’s past-tense question and instead gives an unrelated present-tense statement. This is a sentence structure and relevance error: the examiner asked about possession in the past (Did you have a bike when you were a child?), so the correct response should be a past-tense statement or short answer (Yes, I had a bike / No, I didn’t). Suggestion: answer the question directly using past tense (I had / I didn’t have) or a short form (Yes, I did / No, I didn’t). Use past simple for completed past situations.

× Yes, can you ask me again?

✓ Yes. Are bikes popular in my country?

The student’s reply is confused: the examiner asked ‘Do you think bikes are popular in your country?’ The student answered 'Yes, can you ask me again?' which does not directly express an opinion and instead requests repetition. This is a sentence structure and pragmatic error. The expected response should state opinion in present simple (Yes, I think bikes are popular / No, I don’t think they are). Suggestion: reply directly with present simple opinion (I think they are popular because...), or if they genuinely did not hear, ask 'Could you repeat the question, please?'. Also ensure subject-verb agreement in present simple.
