Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is natural, concise and directly answers the question with relevant supporting details (color, who bought it, age, training wheels, how long you kept it). To improve further, vary sentence openings and add one linking phrase to make the sequence clearer (for example, use “When I was five,” or “After a while,”). Also replace the minor grammar/word-choice issue “unexpensive” elsewhere by “inexpensive” — though not in this answer, be mindful of word choice. Keep responses to no more than five sentences.

Ví dụ: When I was five, my dad bought me a pink-and-green bike for my birthday. I loved riding it, and it even had training wheels to help me learn. I kept it for several years until I finally outgrew it.

Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question and gives an opinion with a reason, which is good. To improve: 1) Use clearer linking words to join contrasting ideas (e.g., “Although,” or “However,” at the start of the clause). 2) Avoid repetition (“I do think” used twice) by using varied phrasing. 3) Correct word choice: use “inexpensive” instead of “unexpensive.” 4) Add one specific example or brief comparison to make the argument more concrete (e.g., comparing bike costs to fuel or public transport). Keep the answer within three to five sentences.

Ví dụ: Although bicycles are fairly common in my country, they are not as widely used as they could be. Inexpensive to buy and maintain, bikes would help people avoid high fuel and bus fares. For example, many commuters still prefer cars or buses because public transport is more convenient for long distances.

× It had training wheels and I had it until I outgrew it.

✓ It had training wheels and I had it until I outgrew it.

No correction needed for verb forms; sentence is grammatically correct. 'Had' (past simple) and 'outgrew' (past simple) are appropriate for past narration. Keep as is.

× I had a pink and green bike my dad bought me for my 5th birthday.

✓ I had a pink-and-green bike that my dad bought me for my 5th birthday.

The original lacks a linking word between the description and the clause; adding 'that' clarifies the relative clause. Hyphenating 'pink-and-green' is optional but helps show the combined color description. Suggestion: use a relative pronoun for clarity in attributive clauses.

× considering it's a very unexpensive means of transportation

✓ considering it's a very inexpensive means of transportation

The word 'unexpensive' is nonstandard; the correct adjective is 'inexpensive'. Use 'inexpensive' to mean 'not expensive'. Also maintain singular 'a means' because 'means' is treated as singular here.

× I do think bikes are popular in my country, however I do think they are not as popular as they should be

✓ I do think bikes are popular in my country; however, I think they are not as popular as they should be

Repeating 'I do think' is redundant. Use a semicolon or period before 'however' and add a comma after it. Simplify to 'I think' for a more natural expression. This fixes punctuation and avoids awkward pronoun/repetition issues.

× considering it's a very unexpensive means of transportation and moving around tends to be quite expensive in my country.

✓ considering it's a very inexpensive means of transportation, and moving around tends to be quite expensive in my country.

The original is a run-on segment lacking proper punctuation. Add a comma before 'and' to separate the clauses, ensuring clarity. Also corrected 'unexpensive' to 'inexpensive' as noted above. Ensure the clause beginning with 'considering' links smoothly to the main sentence; consider rephrasing to 'because' for formal speech.
