Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering it. Give a direct answer first, such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details about the bike, when you used it, or where you rode it. Also, “trial a bike” is not natural English in this context; say “ride a bike” or “have a bike.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: You repeated the question and changed “bikes” to “bugs,” so you did not express your own opinion. Begin with a clear response, such as “Yes, I think they are,” and support it with a specific reason or example. Use linking words such as “because” or “for example” to make your answer coherent.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys. For example, many people ride bicycles to school, work, or nearby shops, especially in smaller cities.

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The phrase 'a trial a bike' is not a correct noun phrase and does not fit the examiner's question. Use the simple structure 'have + a bike' to ask whether someone owned a bike in the past. 'Bugs' in the second answer is a vocabulary or pronunciation issue, not one of the listed grammar problems, so it has not been corrected.
