Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise, correct grammar, and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense consistency (use past tense), reduce filler phrases, and fix pronunciation artifacts like repeated words. Aim for 2–4 sentences only.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I used to dream of having one because I loved watching other children ride; it made me excited and jealous. Unfortunately, my family couldn’t afford one, so I never learned to ride.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear topic sentence then add specific reasons using linking words and avoid repetition. Complete sentences and avoid trailing off. Include concrete examples or brief statistics if possible. Keep responses to 2–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (e.g., 'common', 'widely used', 'congested').

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in Nigeria. Because public transport is often unreliable and traffic is heavy, many people use motorcycles or bicycles to commute quickly. For example, motorcycle taxis are common in cities for short trips and to avoid long traffic jams.

× It always gave me butterflies when I see all the children riding their bikes.

✓ It always gave me butterflies when I saw all the children riding their bikes.

Tense inconsistency: 'gave' is past tense, but 'see' is present. Both clauses should use past tense to describe a childhood feeling. Use 'saw' to match 'gave' and indicate past time. Suggestion: keep time reference consistent by using past tense verbs for actions in the past.

× I I always wanted to try one and unfortunately I didn't have one and I couldn't learn it.

✓ I always wanted to try one, but unfortunately I didn't have one, so I couldn't learn to ride it.

Sentence is repetitive and has awkward coordination. The double 'I' is a typo. 'Couldn't learn it' is unclear: 'learn to ride it' is the correct verb pattern. Use a contrasting conjunction ('but') and a coordinating adverb ('so') to clarify cause and effect. Also add commas to improve flow.

× Of course, bikes are really popular in my country. I come from Nigeria and a lot of people don't have access to good transportation.

✓ Of course, bikes are really popular in my country. I come from Nigeria, and many people don't have access to reliable transportation.

'A lot of' is acceptable but 'many' is more concise here; 'good transportation' is awkward—'reliable transportation' is more natural. Add a comma before 'and' to join two independent clauses. This improves register and clarity.

× A lot of people go to work and get stuck in traffic jams, which makes them which make them go to work really late, so.

✓ A lot of people go to work and get stuck in traffic jams, which makes them go to work really late.

Redundancy and subject-verb agreement/confusion: the phrase repeats 'which makes them which make them'—remove the duplicate. 'Which makes them go to work really late' correctly uses singular 'makes' to refer to 'traffic jams' (singular idea) or the situation. Also remove the trailing 'so' which is incomplete. Simplify to one clear relative clause.
