Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Improve grammar, verb tense consistency and natural phrasing. Begin with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add a specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid redundancy and keep it under five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it everywhere to explore my neighborhood, and as a result I became very familiar with the local streets and parks.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence, then add a specific reason and an example using a linking word to make the answer more informative and natural. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "public transport" or "motor scooters").

Ví dụ: No, bikes are not very popular in my country. Mainly people prefer public transport or motor scooters, so for example most commuters take buses and metros to get to work during rush hour.

× When I was a child I used to riding my bike everywhere by myself to explore my neighborhood.

✓ When I was a child I used to ride my bike everywhere by myself to explore my neighborhood.

The expression 'used to' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. 'Used to riding' is incorrect; it should be 'used to ride' to indicate a habitual action in the past. Suggestion: use 'used to' + base verb for past habits (used to ride).

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about having a bike when you were a child (past time), so the response should use past tense. 'Do have' is present tense and does not match the time reference. Suggestion: match the tense to the time frame in the question (use past tense 'had').

× No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.

✓ No, I don't think bikes are very popular in my country.

This sentence is already correct in tense and meaning. It is left unchanged. (No change needed.)

× People are used to using public transportation or riding their scooters.

✓ People are used to using public transportation or riding scooters.

The original is mostly acceptable, but 'their scooters' can be simplified to 'scooters' for natural general reference. 'Are used to using' is grammatically correct for habitual familiar actions. Suggestion: keep 'are used to' + verb+ing, and avoid unnecessary possessive when speaking generally.
