Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Improve grammar, tense and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Be concise and natural (no more than 5 sentences). For example, say you didn’t have a bike and explain why or how you got around as a child.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school because my home was nearby. Also, my parents preferred me to use public transport for safety reasons.

Gợi ý: Make the answer more specific and coherent. Begin with a clear opinion, then use linking words (however, especially, for example) to explain where and why bikes are popular or not. Provide a concrete example or reason to support your view and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in small towns and among students. However, in big cities many people prefer cars or public transport because of traffic and long distances. For example, in rural areas people often use bicycles for short errands and commuting to school.

× No, I have no bike when I am child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about past time ('when you were a child'), so the student must use past tense. The original uses present tense ('have', 'am'), which is incorrect for describing past possession and state. Use past simple 'didn't have' for negative possession in past and 'was' for the past form of 'am'. Also include the article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: practice forming past simple negatives with 'did not/didn't' and using past forms of 'to be' (was/were).

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country, but in some places.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country, but not in some places.

The student intended to contrast overall popularity with exceptions. The original phrase 'but in some places' is incomplete and unclear. To express that bikes are not popular in certain areas, include 'not' and a clearer structure: 'but not in some places.' The present tense 'are popular' is correct because this is a general statement. Suggestion: complete contrast clauses by including negation or a verb (e.g., 'but they are not popular in some places').
