Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by separating past and present more cleanly, using slightly more formal linking words, fixing a contraction for spoken clarity, and avoiding minor grammar slips. Keep responses within 3–4 sentences: start with a direct topic sentence about childhood, add a linking phrase to introduce the change, then give a brief supporting detail (when and how you use the bike).

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was too dangerous. However, three years ago I bought a pink bike. Since then, I often ride it around the city with my boyfriend, usually on weekends to explore different neighborhoods.

Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question but is brief and contains errors in phrasing and verb choice. Improve by giving a clear topic sentence, use linking words to add a specific reason or example, correct verb forms and articles, and provide one concrete detail (where or who cycles and why).

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for commuting and short trips. For example, when I walk to work I often see commuters and delivery cyclists using bike lanes, especially during rush hour.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child 'cause my parents thought it was dangerous for children to ride bikes.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was dangerous for children to ride bikes.

The original sentence uses informal contraction 'cause. This is not a tense error but style; however tense 'didn't have' and 'thought' are correct past tense. Replace 'cause' with 'because' for formal speech; no tense change needed. Suggestion: use 'because' in formal contexts and keep past tense verbs consistent.

× But three years ago I bought a pink bike and I always ride it with my boyfriend around the city.

✓ But three years ago I bought a pink bike and I always rode it with my boyfriend around the city.

The sentence begins with a past time marker 'three years ago' and 'bought' is past; 'I always ride' is present simple, causing tense mismatch. Use past simple 'rode' to keep past narrative consistent. If the intent is that the action continues to present, use 'have always ridden' or 'I always ride it with my boyfriend around the city' but without 'three years ago' or rephrase: 'I bought a pink bike three years ago, and I have ridden it with my boyfriend around the city ever since.'

× Yes, of course. I think bikes are very popular in my country because when I am working in the street I can see many cyclists riding bike across me.

✓ Yes, of course. I think bikes are very popular in my country because when I am working in the street I can see many cyclists riding bikes past me.

There are two issues: 'many cyclists' is correct but 'riding bike' is incorrect; countable noun 'bike' needs plural 'bikes' after 'riding' or use 'riding past me' with 'bikes' implied. Also 'across me' is unnatural; use 'past me' or 'around me'. Suggestion: use plural after 'riding' ('riding bikes') or rephrase to 'cyclists riding past me' for natural English.
