Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Good: direct topic sentence, relevant supporting details, emotional example, natural language. To improve further, slightly reduce redundancy (e.g., avoid repeating 'became/because' ideas) and vary sentence openings with a linking word to show sequence. Also keep answers within 3–4 concise sentences and use one specific short detail (when, where, or age) to make the memory more vivid.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike as a child. It was special because my sister and I rode it to school together every morning, which brought us closer. Once, when she crashed and her wheel bent, I spent the afternoon fixing it for her, and that small repair made our bond stronger.

Gợi ý: Good: clear opinion and reasons with an example. To improve, add a linking word to connect reasons (e.g., 'because' and 'therefore'), avoid slightly awkward phrasing like 'used to drive' for a student (clarify whether you mean 'rode' or 'was driven'), and include one specific statistic or brief contrast to strengthen the claim. Keep sentences concise and watch for slight logical slips (public transport vs private car vs driving yourself).

Ví dụ: No, bikes aren't very popular in my country because most people prefer private cars for faster and more reliable journeys. As a result, commuting by car is common, and when I was at school I usually went by car because buses were slow and unpredictable.

× It became a symbol of my bond with my sister because we rode to school together every day, and those rides create lasting memories.

✓ It became a symbol of my bond with my sister because we rode to school together every day, and those rides created lasting memories.

The sentence mixes past tense ('became', 'rode') with present tense ('create'). Maintain past tense for events that happened in childhood. Change 'create' to 'created' to match past time reference and ensure tense consistency. Suggestion: Use a consistent past tense for sequences of past events (became, rode, created).

× I remember once she cried when her bike was badly damaged and I helped her repair it, which made us feel even closer.

✓ I remember once she cried when her bike was badly damaged, and I helped her repair it, which made us feel even closer.

The sentence generally uses past tense correctly, but a comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Also 'I remember once' can imply present recollection of a past event; the structure is acceptable. Suggestion: Add comma before 'and' to improve clarity and punctuation for compound sentences.

× They feel more reliable and give predictable travel times so commuters can arrive on time.

✓ They feel more reliable and give predictable travel times, so commuters could arrive on time.

The student is comparing present general preference but referring to habitual consequence; the main clause is present ('They feel'), while 'can arrive' implies present ability. In context describing a general reason why people prefer cars, 'so commuters can arrive on time' is acceptable, but to match 'prefer' as general preference, using 'can' is fine. However, to keep modal consistency with past example later in response ('when I was at school I used to drive'), 'could' could be used if referring generally to the ability in past contexts. If keeping general present reasoning, retain 'can'. Suggestion: Decide whether speaking about present habits (keep 'can') or past habits (use 'could'). Here, keep 'can' for general statements: no change needed. If adjusting, ensure modal matches time frame.
