Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is short and contains a grammar error. Use past tense when talking about childhood and give a clear topic sentence followed by a brief reason or detail. Also avoid one-word or clipped replies. Keep it natural and within 1–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked to school or used public transport.

Gợi ý: This reply is natural but too brief and lacks supporting details. Start with a clear opinion and then add 1–2 specific reasons or examples using linking words (for example, because, and, so). Keep to under five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, absolutely. Bicycles are popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise, and city governments have built more bike lanes in recent years to encourage cycling.

× No, I have.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked a past question ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?') so the student must use past-tense response. 'I have' is present tense and does not match the question. The correct negative short answer to a past simple question uses 'did' + not (contracted to didn't) plus the base verb if needed. In a short reply without repeating the verb, 'No, I didn't' is appropriate. Suggestion: When answering yes/no questions in the past simple, use 'did' or 'didn't' (e.g., 'Yes, I did' or 'No, I didn't'). Grammar problem type ID:5
