Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 20.0Gợi ý: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct answer (yes/no or short statement), then add a brief supporting detail. Keep it natural and under five sentences. Use linking words (for example, 'because' or 'so') if you add reasons.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bicycle with training wheels because my parents wanted me to learn safely, and I used it to ride to the park every weekend.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 25.0Gợi ý: Your reply again repeats the question and contains grammar errors ('a bike are'). Instead, answer directly, use correct subject-verb agreement, and give a specific reason or example. Use linking words like 'because', 'for example', or 'however' to make your point coherent.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bicycles are becoming popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise; for example, several cities now have bike-sharing schemes that many residents use daily.

The verb 'are' is plural but the original subject 'a bike' is singular, causing subject-verb disagreement for third person. According to the allowed error types, fix by matching number: either make the subject plural to 'bikes' to use 'are', or change the verb to singular 'is' if keeping 'a bike' (e.g., 'Do you think a bike is popular in your country?'). Here, 'bikes' fits the question about general popularity. Suggestion: use plural subject when asking about general popularity of things in a country.
