Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct, use correct tense and avoid fillers. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details (what kind of bike, who bought it, a short memory). Keep it within 2–4 sentences and use linking words like 'and' or 'also' to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought me a small red bicycle with training wheels when I was six, and I used to ride it every afternoon to visit my friends. It was special because it gave me independence and helped me learn balance quickly.

Gợi ý: Use clear time references and expand with a specific reason or example. Begin with a direct opinion sentence, then explain why using one or two concrete reasons or a brief comparison with the past. Use linking words such as 'because', 'however', or 'compared to' to show contrast.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country nowadays because many people prefer them for short commutes and exercise. Compared to ten years ago, more cities have built bike lanes and affordable bike-sharing schemes, which has encouraged more residents to cycle regularly.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner's question asks about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use the past tense. 'I do have' is present tense and mismatches the time frame. Use 'I had' to match the past reference. Suggestion: Match the verb tense to the time expression in the question; use past simple for completed past possessions.

× When I was a child, my parents bought me one with UH-4 cycles and uh, it was easy to write it, but uh, in my childhood, actually in my late childhood.

✓ When I was a child, my parents bought me a UH-4 cycle, and it was easy to ride, especially in my later childhood.

Multiple issues: 'bought me one with UH-4 cycles' is unclear and likely wrong word forms; 'one' should refer to 'a UH-4 cycle' (singular), and 'cycles' is plural incorrectly attached. 'easy to write it' is wrong verb; the intended verb is 'ride'. Repeating 'in my childhood' and 'in my late childhood' is redundant; 'later childhood' or 'when I was older' is concise. Use consistent past tense: 'bought' and 'was'. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases and correct verbs (ride for bicycles), avoid redundancy.

× I think bikes are popular in my country actually in nowadays, but it wasn't so some years ago.

✓ I think bikes are popular in my country nowadays, but they weren't so popular some years ago.

Problems: 'in nowadays' is incorrect — 'nowadays' is used without 'in'. Adverb placement should be 'popular nowadays'. Also 'it wasn't so' is vague and uses singular 'it' to refer to bikes (plural), causing agreement issues; use 'they weren't so popular'. Maintain tense contrast: present for now ('are popular' or 'are popular nowadays') and past for previous period ('weren't so popular'). Suggestion: Use 'nowadays' without 'in', ensure pronouns agree with the noun (they for bikes), and keep adjectives like 'popular' with correct subjects.
