Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then add one or two supporting details with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., ‘four-wheel bike’ → ‘balance bike’ or ‘training-wheeled bike’) and avoid contradictory phrasing like ‘until now I still can’t ride a bike’ after saying you had one. Provide a brief reason or result to enrich the answer.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. It was a four-wheeled bike with training wheels, and I used it a lot as a child. However, I never learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle, so even now I can only cycle with stabilizers.

Gợi ý: Make the answer more structured and fluent. Start with a clear direct statement, then use linking words (for example, because, so, and) to add specific reasons and a short comparison or time reference. Avoid fillers and repetition. Correct tense and phrasing (e.g., ‘back in the 90s, not everyone had a car, so bikes were the main transport’). Include one specific example or statistic if possible to strengthen the response.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Because many cities are quite flat, cycling is convenient and economical, especially in the 1990s when few people owned cars. As a result, many people used bicycles for commuting and shopping, and you still see many cyclists today.

× I had a bike, but that bike was a four wheel bike and until now I still can't ride a bike.

✓ I had a bike, but it was a four-wheel bike, and even now I still can't ride a bicycle.

The sentence mixes past and present inappropriately and has some word choice issues. 'Had' correctly indicates possession in the past. Use of 'that bike was a four wheel bike' is wordy; 'it was a four-wheel bike' is concise and 'four-wheel' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective. 'Until now' is awkward with 'had' and better expressed as 'even now' to show a continuing inability. Also use 'bicycle' for formality and avoid repeating 'bike' immediately.

× The bikes are so popular in my country.

✓ Bicycles are very popular in my country.

Using 'are' is grammatically fine, but the definite article 'The' is unnecessary when making a general statement about bicycles; use the plural noun without an article. 'So popular' is informal; 'very popular' is clearer. Also 'bicycles' is preferred to avoid repetition of 'bike' later.

× Uh, I'm from so I'm from the city that doesn't have much hills or valleys, so the roads are really flat.

✓ I'm from a city that doesn't have many hills or valleys, so the roads are really flat.

The original repeats 'I'm from' and uses incorrect quantifier 'much' with countable nouns. Remove the repetition, use the indefinite article 'a' for 'a city', and use 'many' with countable nouns 'hills' and 'valleys'. The rest of the sentence is fine.

× And back to the 90s not everyone had had a car and umm, bikes were really popular that time was the main.

✓ Back in the 1990s not everyone had a car, and bikes were very popular at that time.

Use 'Back in the 1990s' for correct time expression. 'Had had' is unnecessary; simple past 'had' is correct. 'Umm' is filler and should be removed in written form. The clause 'that time was the main' is ungrammatical; replace with 'at that time' or 'then' and clarify 'very popular'. Also use '1990s' with numerals and an 's' for the decade.
