Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (umm, hmm). Also correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'lived in a busy city').

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. I never learned to ride because my parents thought it was safer for me to walk or take public transport since we lived in a busy city.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct clear opinion, then give specific supporting details and use correct grammar. Replace vague phrases with concrete information and avoid fillers. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to explain why you think so.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For example, many students and market vendors ride bikes, especially in smaller towns where traffic is lighter, but I personally don't own one.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I never learned how to ride one.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I had never learned how to ride one.

The student uses 'never learned' which can be acceptable, but in the context of a past time reference before another past moment ('when I was a child') the past perfect ('had never learned') is more accurate to show the learning did not occur prior to that period. Use past perfect to clarify the sequence of past events. Suggestion: Use 'had never learned' when referring to an action that did not happen before a specific time in the past.

× My parents lived in busy city so they preferred that I walk or use public transport instead.

✓ My parents lived in a busy city, so they preferred that I walk or use public transport instead.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article before 'busy city' and needs a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so'. Also 'preferred that I walk' is acceptable formal usage; no tense change required. Suggestion: Add 'a' before 'busy city' and place a comma before 'so' to join the clauses correctly.

× That's interesting questions.

✓ That's an interesting question.

The speaker uses plural 'questions' with the singular determiner 'That's' (that is). The correct form is singular 'question' with 'an' as the indefinite article. Suggestion: Match singular/plural and include the appropriate article: 'That's an interesting question.'

× Every people have a bike, but I don't have a bike.

✓ Everyone has a bike, but I don't.

'Every people' is incorrect: 'people' is a plural noun meaning a group; to refer to each individual use 'everyone' or 'everybody'. Also use singular verb 'has' with 'everyone'. In the second clause, repeating 'a bike' is unnecessary; 'I don't' is natural and concise. Suggestion: Use 'everyone has' or 'everybody has' to express that each person possesses something.
