Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý trả lời trực tiếp nhưng chưa hoàn chỉnh và dùng sai thì: khi kể về thời thơ ấu, hãy dùng quá khứ “had”. Cụm “back when I was” cần có phần bổ sung, chẳng hạn “back when I was a child”. Hãy trả lời thành câu đầy đủ và thêm một chi tiết cụ thể về chiếc xe đạp.

Example: Yes, I had three bikes when I was a child. I used to ride one around my neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Hãy dùng hiện tại đơn để nói về mức độ phổ biến hiện nay. “I will be popular” có nghĩa là “tôi sẽ nổi tiếng”; chủ ngữ cần là “bikes”, và không cần dùng “will” trong câu hỏi này. Có thể nêu một lý do hoặc ví dụ để phát triển câu trả lời.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around.

× Yes, I have 3 back when I was.

✓ Yes, I had three when I was a child.

The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense verb had rather than the present-tense verb have. Spell out three in formal writing.

× Yes, I have 3 back when I was.

✓ Yes, I had three when I was a child.

The phrase when I was is incomplete because it does not say what the speaker was. Add a complement, such as a child, to make the sentence complete.

× Yes, I think I will be popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I think they are popular in my country.

The pronoun I refers to the speaker, but the question is about bikes. Use they to refer to bikes.

× Yes, I think I will be popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I think they are popular in my country.

The question asks whether bikes are popular now, so use the present-tense verb are rather than the future form will be.
