Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence and then add one brief reason or detail to enrich the answer. Avoid repeating words (e.g., 'I did not have a bike' twice) and keep to no more than 3–4 short sentences. Use a linking word if you add a reason.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus, because my family lived too far from any safe cycling routes.

Gợi ý: Make the time frame and contrast clearer and use linking words. Begin with a clear topic sentence about current popularity, then contrast with the pandemic period using a linking phrase like 'however' or 'but'. Add a specific reason or short example to support your view.

Ví dụ: Bikes are less popular now than they were during the pandemic. During the pandemic many people used bikes to avoid public transport, but now public transport and ride-hailing services are more common, so fewer people cycle regularly.

× Yes it was popular, especially during the pandemic, but now not really.

✓ Yes, it was popular, especially during the pandemic, but now it is not really.

The sentence mixes past and present information. 'Was popular' correctly refers to the past (during the pandemic), but the second clause refers to the present and needs a present-tense verb. Adding 'it is' makes the present-state explicit and grammatically complete. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity. Suggestion: when contrasting past and present, use the appropriate verb forms in each clause (past for past situations, present for current situations) and ensure each clause has a clear subject and verb.
