Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a fuller direct response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Avoid one-word answers. Provide specifics (when, what kind of bike, who gave it to you, or a short memory) and use linking words for coherence. Keep to at most five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did — I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight years old. It was a second-hand bike that my parents bought for me, and I learned to ride it in the park near our house. Because it had stabilisers at first, I gained confidence quickly and soon rode with my friends every weekend.

Gợi ý: Make the answer grammatical, concise and add a specific reason or example. Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) and correct agreement (bikes are, people are). Avoid hesitations and repetition. Limit to up to five sentences and include one specific fact or brief example.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many cities are flat and have dedicated cycle lanes. For example, most people cycle to work or school during the warmer months, and group rides with friends are a common weekend activity. As a result, cycling is both a practical and social way to get around.

× Yes it is.

✓ Yes, they are.

The student answered about 'bikes' (plural), so the verb must agree with a plural subject. 'It is' uses third person singular pronoun 'it' which does not match 'bikes'. Use 'they are' to refer to bikes. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for natural speech punctuation. Suggestion: Match subject number with verb (plural noun -> plural pronoun and verb).

× Most people here ride a bike and go cycling and they're, umm, very fond of cycling with the people or friends.

✓ Most people here ride bikes and go cycling, and they're very fond of cycling with other people or friends.

The phrase 'ride a bike' is grammatical but inconsistent with 'most people' which is plural; using the plural 'ride bikes' is clearer. 'the people or friends' is incorrect article and word choice; use 'other people or friends'. Remove filler 'umm' and place a comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestions: Use plural nouns to match plural subjects and use 'other people' rather than 'the people' when speaking generally.
