Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and use past tense consistently; avoid hesitations and correct small grammar errors. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes, I did.), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it under five sentences and remove filler words (“uh”, “it uh”). For example, say when you got the bike, describe it briefly, and explain why it was special.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was about eight, my father gave me a pink, two-tone bicycle for my birthday, and my brother and I often rode it home from school. Because it was brightly colored and comfortable, I loved riding it around the neighborhood every afternoon.

Gợi ý: Make your opinion clear in one concise sentence, then support it with two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because / so / therefore). Avoid repetition and small grammar errors (use correct tense and word order). Use precise vocabulary like “electric bikes” and “conventional bicycles.”

Ví dụ: Not as much as before. Nowadays many children and teenagers prefer electric bikes because they are faster and require less effort, so conventional bicycles are becoming less common in cities.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. The pronoun use is fine but the verb tense is wrong — change 'have' to past 'had' to match the time reference. Suggestion: Match verb tense to the time frame mentioned (use past tense for past situations).

× When I was a kid, me and my brother used to ride a bike when we came from a school and uh, it uh, my bicolor is pink and I like that bike very much because my father gave that bike when on my birthday.

✓ When I was a kid, my brother and I used to ride a bike when we came home from school. The bike was pink and I liked it very much because my father gave it to me on my birthday.

Multiple issues: 'me and my brother' is incorrect subject order and case; use 'my brother and I'. 'Came from a school' is awkward—use 'came home from school' to indicate returning. 'My bicolor' is incorrect word choice; should be 'the bike was pink' or 'my bike was pink'. Tense consistency: the context is past, so use past tense verbs ('was', 'liked', 'gave'). Also 'gave that bike when on my birthday' is ungrammatical; correct form 'gave it to me on my birthday'. Suggestions: Use correct subject pronoun order and case, keep past tense consistent, use natural phrases like 'came home from school', and use 'gave it to me on my birthday'.

× I don't think so bicycles are as popular when it is used to be.

✓ I don't think bicycles are as popular as they used to be.

Word order and article/phrase issues: 'I don't think so' is unnecessary and separates the clause. The comparative structure is incorrect: use 'as popular as they used to be'. 'When it is used to be' mixes tenses and words incorrectly—use past reference 'used to be'. Suggestion: Use the standard comparative pattern 'as ... as' and 'used to be' for past habitual states.

× So these days many kids prefer, especially the new young ones who prefer e bikes because they are faster and easier to ride.

✓ These days many kids, especially the younger ones, prefer e-bikes because they are faster and easier to ride.

Redundant repetition of 'prefer' and awkward phrase 'new young ones'; use 'younger ones'. 'E bikes' should be hyphenated as 'e-bikes' or written as 'electric bikes'. Ensure sentence flow without unnecessary commas. Suggestion: Avoid repetition, choose correct adjective 'younger', and use standard form 'e-bikes'.

× So regular bikes are becoming less popular nowadays.

✓ Regular bikes have become less popular nowadays.

The progressive 'are becoming' is acceptable, but 'have become' better expresses the change that has already occurred up to the present. Both are possible; choose 'have become' for a completed trend. Ensure tense matches the intended meaning. Suggestion: Use present perfect to describe a change over time that affects the present ('have become less popular').
