Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, with a direct topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, reduce minor repetition (you say 'when I was a child' twice) and correct small grammar issues (use 'ride a bicycle' and match tense: 'could not' instead of 'cannot'). Add one concise linking word to make the flow smoother (e.g., 'because' or 'so'), and aim to keep it within 3–4 sentences. Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., 'hang out' → 'meet up' or 'explore').

Ví dụ: I had a bicycle as a child and I used it almost every day. Because it was faster than walking, I often rode it with friends to meet up and explore nearby neighborhoods. It was very useful for getting to places that were too far to walk.

Gợi ý: Your main idea is clear, but the answer has hesitations ('uh') and an unfinished final clause. To improve: remove fillers, complete your reasoning with a clear cause-and-effect sentence, and add a linking phrase (e.g., 'because' or 'as a result') to connect idea and reason. Provide a specific example of what technology has changed (e.g., motorbikes, public transport, or smartphones). Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

Ví dụ: They are less popular now than before. This is mainly because cars and motorbikes have become more affordable and public transport has improved, so fewer people rely on bicycles for daily travel. As a result, bicycles are used more for leisure than for regular commuting.

× I used to ride bicycle with my friends to hang out and socialize with each other.

✓ I used to ride a bicycle with my friends to hang out and socialize with each other.

The phrase 'ride bicycle' is missing the article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'bicycle'. This is an article error affecting noun phrase, but it manifests in verb + -ing context here; add 'a' to make 'ride a bicycle'. Suggestion: use 'ride a bicycle' or 'ride bicycles' depending on singular/plural intent.

× It helped us to go to places that we cannot go on foot.

✓ It helped us to go to places that we could not go to on foot.

The sentence mixes past 'helped' with present 'cannot'. Maintain past tense for consistency. Also include preposition 'to' after 'go'. Use 'could not' to match past timeframe. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and include required preposition: 'could not go to on foot'.

× At the moment, they are not as popular as in the past.

✓ At the moment, they are not as popular as they were in the past.

Comparison compares current popularity with past; the past clause needs past tense 'were'. Adding 'they were' clarifies the comparison. Suggestion: use past tense in the subordinate clause when comparing to the past.

× They used to be the most, uh, popular items in our neighborhoods.

✓ They used to be the most popular items in our neighborhoods.

The filler 'uh' interrupts the sentence but is spoken disfluency; grammatically the comma after 'most' is incorrect and 'most popular' should be contiguous. Remove the comma and filler. Suggestion: say 'They used to be the most popular items in our neighborhoods.'

× However, right now they are not, uh, as popular as that used to be because of the technological advancements, and it has changed the.

✓ However, right now they are not as popular as they used to be because of technological advancements, which have changed things.

Multiple issues: unnecessary filler 'uh' and misplaced comma interrupt structure; 'that used to be' is unclear — use 'they used to be'; 'the technological advancements' should be 'technological advancements' or 'these technological advancements'; 'it has changed the.' is incomplete and lacks object. Rephrase to 'which have changed things.' Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'advancements have'. Suggestion: remove fillers and complete the clause: 'which have changed things.'
