Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more fluent, concise and use correct tense. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (umm, uh) and redundant repetitions. Also correct grammar: use past tense consistently (couldn't, practiced) and explain briefly why you couldn't master it.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I couldn’t ride one properly. Although I practiced a few times with my cousin, I was too scared to balance and eventually gave up, so my family never bought me one.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and add specific reasons with linking words. Replace vague phrases like “nothing much” and avoid fillers. Use comparative language correctly (Europeans or European countries) and give one or two concrete examples or consequences (safety, infrastructure).

Ví dụ: Not very popular. In my country there are few dedicated bike lanes, so cycling is often unsafe for commuters. By contrast, many European countries invest in separated bike paths and bike-sharing schemes, which makes cycling a common choice for short trips.

× Well, I didn't have a bike when I was younger because I can't, I couldn't umm, ride a bike.

✓ Well, I didn't have a bike when I was younger because I couldn't ride a bike.

The sentence mixes present tense 'can't' with past tense context. Use 'couldn't' to match the past timeframe introduced by 'when I was younger' and 'didn't have'. Remove redundant 'can't' and filler words for clarity. Suggestion: Maintain consistent past tense for events in the past: use 'couldn't' instead of 'can't.'

× Umm, especially, uh, honestly, I practiced it, but umm, when I practice.

✓ Umm, especially, uh, honestly, I practiced it, but when I practiced I still couldn't.

The original ends with 'when I practice' which incorrectly uses present tense in a past narration. Change to past participle 'practiced' for consistency and complete the clause with the result. Suggestion: Keep verb forms consistent and complete the clause to show outcome. Note: Also clarify the result (e.g., 'I still couldn't') to complete the thought.

× Well, nothing much because umm, we don't have a lot of bike roads.

✓ Well, not really; we don't have many bike lanes.

'Nothing much' is conversational but awkward here; 'not really' fits better. 'A lot of bike roads' is unnatural: use 'many' with countable plural 'bike lanes' or 'bike paths.' Suggestion: Use 'many' for countable plural nouns and choose appropriate noun ('bike lanes/paths').

× Umm umm umm cons.

✓ Umm, there are cons.

The fragment 'cons' alone is unclear. Add a subject and verb to form a complete sentence, e.g., 'There are cons' or specify the cons. Suggestion: Avoid fragments; use full sentences like 'There are some disadvantages.'

× But umm, I I think European have a lot more bike roads.

✓ But, I think Europeans have many more bike lanes.

'European' is an adjective or singular noun; the sentence needs the plural noun 'Europeans' to refer to people, and 'have' agrees with plural. Also 'a lot more' can be 'many more' and 'bike roads' is better as 'bike lanes.' Suggestion: Use plural nouns for groups (Europeans) and ensure verb agreement; use natural collocations like 'bike lanes.'
