Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly wordy and has minor grammatical awkwardness. Make the response more natural by using a concise topic sentence, fixing tense and phrasing, and adding one specific detail about your plans. Use a linking word to connect the two ideas smoothly.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my family couldn’t afford one. However, now I’m saving from my part-time job to buy a bicycle, and I hope to get a commuter bike next summer for short trips to work.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer with a reason, but you can strengthen it by giving a more specific example or comparison and using linking words to make it cohesive. Avoid repeating similar phrases and aim for slightly wider vocabulary (e.g., "common" or "widely used").

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. For example, many parents buy bicycles as birthday gifts for children, and in urban areas people also use them for short commutes because they’re cheap and convenient.

× No, I did not have a bike when I was a child because my family could not afford it when back in time.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child because my family could not afford it back then.

The phrase 'when back in time' is ungrammatical. Use 'back then' to refer to that past period. Also the rest of the sentence correctly uses past tense verbs ('did not have', 'could not afford') so keep them. Suggestion: replace 'when back in time' with 'back then' for natural past-time reference.

× But now I'm thinking about it since I can work to get a bike with my own money.

✓ But now I am thinking about it because I can work and save to buy a bike with my own money.

The original mixes ideas awkwardly: 'since I can work to get a bike' is unclear. Use 'because' to give a reason. 'Work and save to buy' is a natural collocation for obtaining something with earnings. Also replace contraction 'I'm' with 'I am' only if formal style is required; tense consistency is maintained (present continuous for current thinking, present ability 'can').

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of kids and teenagers get them when they're asked what they want for their birthday or when they're given a gift.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because many children and teenagers receive them when they are asked what they want for their birthday or when they are given gifts.

'A lot of kids' is informal; use 'many children' for standard English. 'Get them' is acceptable but 'receive them' is more formal and matches 'are asked' passive structure. Also change 'they're' contractions to 'they are' for formality and 'a gift' to plural 'gifts' to match 'many children and teenagers'. The tense and aspect (present simple for general truth) are correct.
