Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 10.0建议: Answer the question directly by saying whether you had a bike as a child. Avoid repeating the examiner’s question, and add one relevant detail, such as when you rode it or who you rode with.
示例: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 5.0建议: Your answer does not address whether bikes are popular. State your opinion clearly, then support it with a relevant reason or example. Use accurate vocabulary related to cycling, such as “commute,” “exercise,” or “cycle lanes.”
示例: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them for short commutes because they are affordable and convenient.
× Do you have a bike? When you are When you are?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The examiner asks about a past situation, so use the past-tense auxiliary did and were rather than the present-tense forms do and are. Avoid repeating the unfinished phrase; give a complete response that matches the past-time context.
× Nearest item you could buy are a pillow in my country.
✓ The nearest item you could buy is a pillow in my country.
Use the before nearest because nearest is a superlative adjective identifying a particular item.
× Nearest item you could buy are a pillow in my country.
✓ The nearest item you could buy is a pillow in my country.
The subject is the singular noun item, so it takes the singular verb is, not are. Identify the main subject before choosing the verb form.
