Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a direct past-tense topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use past tense for a childhood experience, avoid short yes/no only answers, and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, it was a red mountain bike that my parents bought for my eighth birthday. I used it to ride to school and explore the neighborhood, and because of that I learned to be more independent.

Gợi ý: Start with a fuller topic sentence and give specific reasons or examples linked with connectors (for example, because, also, therefore). Use plural subject agreement and avoid vague phrases; provide context (who uses them and where).

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are a cheap and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many students and office workers cycle to work or school, especially in cities with heavy traffic, and this also helps reduce commuting time.

× Yes, I have one.

✓ Yes, I had one.

The examiner asked about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using present tense 'have' is inconsistent with the time reference. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' for completed past situations and align verb tense with time expressions (e.g., 'when I was a child').

× Yes, because it is easy to go anywhere.

✓ Yes, because they are easy to use to go anywhere.

The student refers to 'bikes' (plural), but used the singular pronoun 'it' and an adjective 'easy' without a subject that matches 'bikes'. This is a pronoun agreement and reference issue. Also the original lacks clarity about what is easy. Suggestion: match pronoun number to the noun ('they' for 'bikes') and add a verb phrase that fits ('are easy to use') so the sentence clearly states that bikes are convenient for traveling.
