Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Use past tense consistently, shorten and clarify sentences, and add one specific supporting detail. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give a reason or memory with a linking word. Avoid repetition (e.g. “bike” repeated) and minor grammar errors (do → did, while → when, I'm → I was, can → could).

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle my mother gave me because she wanted me to learn to ride to school on my own. For example, I practiced every weekend in the park until I felt confident enough to cycle to class.

Gợi ý: Improve grammar (use plural and correct verb forms), avoid filler phrases like “you know,” and structure the answer with a clear topic sentence followed by two specific reasons linked with connectors. Provide one concrete example or statistic if possible to make the answer more convincing.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in China, especially shared bicycles. Firstly, they are convenient for short trips and often faster than cars during rush hour; secondly, they are inexpensive and easy to rent via mobile apps. For instance, there are thousands of docking stations in many cities, so commuters frequently use bikes for the last mile of their journey.

× Yes, I do have a bike while I'm a kid.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a kid.

The question asks about possession in the past (when you were a child), so the past simple tense should be used. 'Do have' is present tense and 'while I'm a kid' mixes present with past. Use 'had' for past possession and 'when I was a kid' as the correct time clause. Suggestion: Use past simple for past situations: 'I had a bike when I was a kid.'

× It was a red bike and it was given by my mother.

✓ It was a red bike and it was given to me by my mother.

The passive structure 'was given' is correct past participle usage, but the recipient is missing the preposition 'to'. Add 'to me' for clarity. Suggestion: Include the indirect object with 'to' in passive sentences: 'It was given to me by my mother.'

× She wanted me to learn how to ride a bike so that I can ride a bike by myself to school.

✓ She wanted me to learn how to ride a bike so that I could ride to school by myself.

The main clause 'She wanted' is past, so the subordinate clause should use a past modal 'could' not present 'can' to maintain sequence of tenses. Also 'ride a bike by myself to school' is wordy; 'ride to school by myself' is more natural. Suggestion: Use 'could' after past verbs: 'She wanted me ... so that I could ride to school by myself.'

× I do think bike is popular in China because you know the shared bikes you can see everywhere in China.

✓ I do think bikes are popular in China because you know the shared bikes you can see everywhere in China.

The noun 'bike' should be plural when speaking generally about popularity. Use 'bikes are' rather than 'bike is'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns and matching plural verbs for general statements: 'Bikes are popular.'

× People like riding bikes to somewhere very nearby because it's very convenient and save some time rather than driving or taking subways because of the traffic jam.

✓ People like riding bikes to places very nearby because it's very convenient and saves time rather than driving or taking the subway because of traffic jams.

Several issues: 'to somewhere very nearby' is awkward; use 'to places very nearby' or 'for short trips'. 'Save some time' needs agreement with subject 'it' so 'saves time.' 'Taking subways' is incorrect; use 'taking the subway' or 'taking subways' with article depending on dialect; 'traffic jam' should be plural or uncountable as 'traffic jams' or 'traffic'. Also 'rather than' compares gerunds—keep parallel structure. Suggestion: Rephrase for naturalness and agreement: 'People like riding bikes for short trips because it's convenient and saves time compared with driving or taking the subway when there are traffic jams.'
