Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is natural and personal, but has some hesitations, minor repetition and a few small grammar slips (tense consistency and article use). To improve: 1) Reduce fillers and repetitions (avoid repeated "I"). 2) Keep tense consistent (use past tense for childhood events). 3) Use a clear topic sentence then 1–2 supporting details with linking words. 4) Correct small article choices (e.g., “a blue bike with quite large wheels”).

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a blue bike with large wheels that my parents gave me for my ninth birthday. It was my favorite toy, and I often rode it around the neighbourhood with my friends. Although the bike is broken now, I still remember how excited I was when I first got it.

Gợi ý: The response is clear and coherent with comparative detail. To improve further: 1) Add a brief reason or example to support the trend you mention (use linking words like 'because' or 'however'). 2) Vary vocabulary (use 'commute' or 'cycling culture'). 3) Avoid absolute language and give one concrete example or statistic if possible. 4) Keep sentences concise (max 4–5 sentences).

Ví dụ: Not really — bicycles are less popular now than before. Five years ago, more people cycled, but nowadays many prefer cars or public transport because city traffic and limited bike lanes make cycling less convenient. However, I still cycle to work sometimes, and a few colleagues do too, so cycling hasn't disappeared entirely.

× And yes, I I do have a bike.

✓ And yes, I did have a bike.

The question asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using 'do have' is present tense and mismatches the time frame. Use 'did have' to match past context. Suggestion: Use past simple ('did have' or simply 'I had') when referring to possession in the past.

× It was a blue bike with quite huge wheels that my parents gave for my 9th birthday I guess.

✓ It was a blue bike with quite huge wheels that my parents gave me for my 9th birthday, I guess.

The original sentence omits the indirect object 'me' after 'gave', which is required when specifying the recipient. This is not strictly a plural/singular noun error but fits common sentence structure errors listed; it also lacks a comma before the tag 'I guess'. Suggestion: Include the indirect object ('gave me') and add a comma before 'I guess' for clarity.

× And I was very, very excited and I I liked riding it around the neighborhood with my friends.

✓ And I was very, very excited and I liked riding it around the neighborhood with my friends.

The sentence contains a doubled 'I' (typo) but the main tense is past, which is appropriate. Remove the duplicate word to correct the grammar. Suggestion: Proofread to remove repeated words; keep past simple ('liked riding') to match the past context.

× And although it's broken now, it's still a a very memorable gift.

✓ And although it's broken now, it's still a very memorable gift.

This sentence has a duplicated article 'a a' (typo). The contraction 'it's' (it is) is correct for present state. Remove the extra 'a'. Suggestion: Remove duplicated words; keep present tense 'it's broken' to describe the current state.

× I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country nowadays.

✓ I don't think bicycles are very popular in my country nowadays.

This sentence is grammatically correct and uses present tense appropriately to describe current opinions/trends. No correction needed. Suggestion: None.

× Five years ago people cycled more for sure, but many prefer public transport or cars to bikes.

✓ Five years ago people cycled more for sure, but now many prefer public transport or cars to bikes.

The first clause correctly uses past tense ('Five years ago people cycled'), but the second clause contrasts with present preference. Adding 'now' clarifies the time shift; without it the sentence is understandable but less explicit about the contrast. Suggestion: Include a time adverb ('now') when contrasting past and present to make the tense change clearer.

× I still ride to work sometimes and a few of my colleagues do as well, so cycling hasn't completely disappeared.

✓ I still ride to work sometimes and a few of my colleagues do as well, so cycling hasn't completely disappeared.

This sentence is correct: present simple ('ride') for habitual action and present perfect negative ('hasn't completely disappeared') to indicate a change over time. No correction needed. Suggestion: None.
