Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (e.g., “you know”), and limit to one or two supporting details. Mention a brief reason and perhaps a short relevant memory to enrich the answer. Use linking words only if adding more detail.

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My parents couldn't afford one, so I usually walked to school instead. However, I remember sometimes borrowing a neighbor's bike to ride around the park on weekends.

Gợi ý: Clarify and correct grammar, remove repetitions, and organize points with linking words. Give one or two specific reasons (cost, convenience) and a brief example or statistic to support your opinion. Keep it under five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people cannot afford cars and public transport can be expensive. Consequently, lots of people commute to work or school by bicycle, especially in crowded cities. Riding a bike is cheap, convenient, and often faster for short trips.

× Growing up I wasn't really privileged to have a bike as my parents were, you know, poor and couldn't afford it.

✓ Growing up, I wasn't really privileged to have a bike because my parents were poor and couldn't afford one.

The original uses 'as' and a parenthetical 'you know' making the sentence informal and slightly awkward. Replace 'as' with 'because' to clearly express cause. Remove 'you know' and change 'it' to 'one' (referring to 'a bike') for clarity. Also add a comma after 'Growing up' for correct introductory phrase punctuation.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country as not many people could can afford a car and a bus.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because not many people can afford a car or a bus.

The original contains 'could can' (an extra modal) which is incorrect. Choose the present ability 'can' to match the general statement about popularity; use 'because' for clarity instead of 'as'. Use 'or' between alternatives (a car or a bus), not 'and'.

× So many people take themselves to and fro and and from to and from work or school through a bike.

✓ So many people travel to and from work or school by bike.

The original is repetitive and ungrammatical: 'take themselves to and fro and and from to and from' is redundant and contains a duplicated word 'and'. Replace with the concise, correct structure 'travel to and from' and use the preposition 'by' with 'bike' to indicate means of transport. This fixes word order and removes repetition.

× It helps make transportation easy and cost effective.

✓ It helps make transportation easy and cost-effective.

Use a hyphen in the compound adjective 'cost-effective' when it modifies a noun (transportation). This clarifies that 'cost-effective' functions as one adjective. Also, 'easy' is acceptable; no tense change is needed.
