Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and use the correct tense and a bit more detail. For a past situation, use past tense: say whether you had one and briefly explain why or give a short detail (one or two supporting phrases). Keep it natural and concise.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family lived in a small town and my parents preferred I walk to school, so I never learned to ride until I was older.

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and gives reasons, but make it more concise, use clearer linking words, correct small grammar issues, and avoid hesitations like “kind of”. State your opinion clearly, then support it with two specific reasons and an example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially among young people. Firstly, they are much cheaper to buy and maintain than cars. Secondly, insurance and fuel costs are lower, which makes them practical for students and young workers; for example, many university students I know commute by motorbike to save money.

× No, I haven't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked a past simple question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' which requires a past simple negative reply. 'I haven't' is present perfect and does not match the past time reference. Use 'didn't' (past simple negative) to agree with the past time frame. Suggestion: match the tense of your answer to the time reference in the question (use past simple for 'when you were a child').

× Yeah, I kind of think that bikes are a pretty popular source of transportation among many youths.

✓ Yeah, I kind of think that bikes are a pretty popular means of transportation among many young people.

'Source of transportation' is not the common collocation; 'means of transportation' is preferred. 'Youths' is grammatically possible but sounds formal/awkward in this context; 'young people' is more natural. No tense error here, but this corrects word choice and collocation. Suggestion: use common collocations ('means of transportation') and natural phrasing ('young people').

× Also, bikes are relatively cheaper as compared to cars and we don't have that much insurance amount for bikes as compared to cars.

✓ Also, bikes are relatively cheaper than cars, and we don't have to pay as much for bike insurance as for car insurance.

Use 'cheaper than' rather than 'cheaper as compared to'; this is the normal comparative structure. The clause 'we don't have that much insurance amount for bikes' is ungrammatical and awkward. A clear and grammatical version is 'we don't have to pay as much for bike insurance as for car insurance.' This fixes comparative structure, article/phrase order, and word choice. Suggestion: for comparisons use 'X is ... than Y' and use parallel structures when comparing costs ('pay as much for A as for B').
