Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundancy and unclear phrases (e.g., “hold bike”, “run around” is informal). Use linking words to connect ideas. Also correct minor grammar: use simple past consistently and clearer noun phrases.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My parents owned an old bicycle that my siblings and I often rode around our neighborhood. Because we lived near parks and quiet streets, we spent many afternoons exploring nearby lanes and playing together on that bike.

Gợi ý: Give a clear direct opinion, then support it with specific reasons and examples, using linking words to improve coherence. Avoid repeating the same point. Mention who still uses bikes and why, and contrast with other transport modes to add depth.

Ví dụ: I don’t think bikes are as popular as they used to be. For example, many people now prefer cars or motorbikes because they are faster and more convenient for long commutes; however, bicycles remain common among students and delivery riders for short trips and errands because they are cheap and easy to park.

× I had a very eventful childhood and growing up my parents used to own a hold bike that I used to run around the entire community with my siblings back then.

✓ I had a very eventful childhood, and while growing up my parents used to own a old bike that I used to ride around the entire community with my siblings.

The original sentence misuses 'growing up' placement and contains 'hold bike' (likely a typo) and 'run around' which is inappropriate for riding a bike. 'While growing up' correctly links the clause; 'old' fits context (article 'a' plus noun starting with consonant sound); 'ride' is the correct verb for using a bike rather than 'run'. Also add a comma to separate clauses for clarity.

× my parents used to own a hold bike

✓ my parents used to own an old bike

Article error: 'a hold bike' is incorrect because 'hold' is not the intended word and 'old' begins with a vowel sound so it requires the article 'an'. Correct phrase is 'an old bike'.

× I used to run around the entire community with my siblings back then.

✓ I used to ride around the entire community with my siblings back then.

Using a bike is described by the verb 'ride', not 'run'. 'Run around' implies running on foot. Replace with 'ride around' to accurately describe traveling by bike.

× Bikes are becoming less popular in my country.

✓ Bikes are becoming less popular in my country.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present continuous to describe an ongoing trend; no change needed. Included to indicate checked and confirmed correct.

× people still use bikes to run to errands and to travel small distances.

✓ people still use bikes to run errands and to travel short distances.

Phrase 'run to errands' is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'run errands'. Also 'small distances' is grammatically acceptable but 'short distances' is the usual collocation and sounds more natural.

× But bikes are not generally popular anymore.

✓ However, bikes are not generally popular anymore.

Starting a sentence with 'But' is informal in spoken language; replacing with 'However' improves formality and cohesion with preceding sentence. Grammatically the sentence is otherwise acceptable.
