Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer mainly in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: use “I had” rather than “I have.” Say “my parents bought it for me” and “it took me two days to learn how to ride it.” You can make the answer more natural by adding one specific detail about using the bike and avoiding the less relevant final claim.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me from a local shop, and it took me about two days to learn how to ride it. After that, I often rode it around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Answer whether bikes are popular, rather than whether they are “well known.” Use “people usually travel by car or scooter” instead of “transport by cars and schoolsters”; the likely word is “scooters.” Correct “while that bikes” to “whereas bikes,” and explain specifically why bikes may be inconvenient for commuting. Consider whether your claim accurately reflects bike use in Vietnam.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Vietnam, especially in busy cities. Many people use motorbikes or scooters because they are convenient in traffic and easier to park than cars. However, cycling can be less practical for commuting in hot weather or during heavy rain.

× Yes, I have a pink bike which was bought from my parent in a local shop.

✓ Yes, I had a pink bike, which was bought by my parent at a local shop.

The question asks about your childhood, so use the past tense had rather than the present tense have. Use by to introduce the person who bought the bike and at to refer to the shop’s location.

× Yes, I have a pink bike which was bought from my parent in a local shop.

✓ Yes, I had a pink bike, which was bought by my parent at a local shop.

From suggests that your parent was the seller. By correctly identifies your parent as the person who bought the bike, and at is the natural preposition for the shop’s location.

× In my country, Vietnam, people usually transport by cars and schoolsters while that bikes are not really a good choice to commute in the morning or in the afternoon back from work.

✓ In my country, Vietnam, people usually travel by car or scooter, while bikes are not really a good choice for commuting to work in the morning or back home in the afternoon.

People travel by car or scooter; transport is usually transitive and needs an object, such as goods. Use the clearer structure travel by. Also, a good choice for commuting is a natural grammatical construction.

× In my country, Vietnam, people usually transport by cars and schoolsters while that bikes are not really a good choice to commute in the morning or in the afternoon back from work.

✓ In my country, Vietnam, people usually travel by car or scooter, while bikes are not really a good choice for commuting to work in the morning or back home in the afternoon.

That is unnecessary before the general plural noun bikes. To make a general statement, use bikes without a demonstrative pronoun.
