Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Reduce repetition, produce a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Aim for natural phrasing and avoid saying the same idea twice. For example, start with a direct answer, then briefly describe the bike and explain why it made you feel special.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red tricycle with a wicker basket, and I felt special because few children in my neighbourhood owned bikes at that time. As a result, everyone wanted to borrow it, so I spent a lot of time riding around the park.

Gợi ý: Be concise and use linking words to compare past and present. Remove filler phrases like 'you know' and avoid repetition. Provide one clear reason for the change and, if possible, a brief example or prediction to enrich the answer.

Ví dụ: It depends — bikes are less popular now than in the past. With the rise of electric scooters, ride-hailing apps and affordable cars, many people prefer faster or more convenient options, so cycling is mostly seen among commuters and hobbyists rather than everyone.

× It was a three wheel bike and back then nobody really had bikes.

✓ It was a three-wheeled bike and, back then, nobody really had bikes.

The phrase 'three wheel bike' uses nouns where a compound adjective with a past participle or hyphenated adjective is required. Use 'three-wheeled' to describe the bike. Also add commas around the introductory phrase 'back then' for clarity.

× I was special with my bike bike because no, as I told you, nobody really had bikes back then.

✓ I felt special with my bike because, as I told you, nobody really had bikes back then.

The original repeats 'bike' and has awkward structure. Change 'I was special with my bike' to 'I felt special with my bike' for natural English. Remove the filler 'no' and add commas around the parenthetical 'as I told you.'

× It was there and you would barely see a bike in the street.

✓ Bikes were rare, and you would barely see one in the street.

'It was there' is vague and unidiomatic. Use a clear subject 'Bikes' and replace 'a bike' with 'one' to avoid repetition. This improves sentence cohesion.

× So I was special between all my friends.

✓ So I was special among all my friends.

Use 'among' (or 'amongst') rather than 'between' when referring to being part of a group of more than two people. 'Between' is used for two items or distinct, individual items.

× It depends.

✓ It depends.

'It depends' is grammatically correct for the question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' No change required; included for completeness.

× Nowadays bikes aren't really popular because you know that electric scooters exist nowadays and Ubers and taxis and cars etcetera.

✓ Nowadays bikes aren't really popular because electric scooters, Ubers, taxis, and cars exist.

Avoid repeating 'nowadays' and the filler 'you know.' List items cleanly and remove 'etcetera' for clarity. This yields a more fluent sentence.

× And not not like back then.

✓ Not like back then.

The original duplicates 'not' and uses an unnecessary conjunction 'And.' Remove the extra 'not' and the leading 'And' to form a concise contrastive statement.

× Back then bikes were were really popular because everyone had them and there were no Erector scooters and Ubers.

✓ Back then bikes were really popular because everyone had them and there were no electric scooters or Ubers.

Remove the duplicated 'were.' Use 'electric scooters' (not 'Erector') and use 'or' to list alternatives. This corrects tense duplication and vocabulary error.
