Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be careful with tense consistency and phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid mixing present and past tense (e.g., "can't afford" should be "couldn't afford"). You could briefly mention how that affected you or whether you ever learned to ride later to enrich the response.

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn't afford one at the time. However, I did learn to ride a borrowed bike at a friend's house when I was ten, so I still had the chance to enjoy cycling occasionally.

Gợi ý: Give a direct opinion followed by specific supporting details and linking words to make the answer more informative. Expand slightly with examples of who uses bikes and why (commuting, exercise, cost). Use quantifying words and a linking phrase such as "for example" or "because" to make the response coherent and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and practical way to get around. For example, many schoolchildren ride to class, and a growing number of adults use bicycles for short commutes and exercise.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we can't afford it then.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we couldn't afford it then.

The sentence refers to a past situation, so the modal verb must be in the past form. 'Can't afford' is present tense and inconsistent with 'didn't have.' Use 'couldn't afford' to show inability in the past. Suggestion: match verb tense for time reference; use past modal 'couldn't' for past inability.

× Yes, a lot of children and even adults have a bike.

✓ Yes, a lot of children and even adults have bikes.

The subject refers to multiple people ('children' and 'adults'), so the noun should be in plural form. 'Have a bike' implies each person has one, but standard English uses the plural 'bikes' after 'children and adults.' Suggestion: use plural nouns when referring to multiple people (e.g., 'have bikes').
