Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, but use the past tense consistently: “used” instead of “use.” You could also add one specific detail, such as how often you rode the bike or how you felt about it. This would make the answer more natural and better developed.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I used it to go to school almost every day. It was convenient because my school was only about fifteen minutes from my home. I also enjoyed riding it with my friends after school.

Gợi ý: Use the plural form “bikes are” and “cars are” when speaking generally, and include commas after introductory phrases such as “Yes, of course.” Explain the connection more clearly by saying that bikes are popular because they are cheaper than cars and help people avoid traffic. Add a specific example or comparison to make your answer more effective.

Ví dụ: Yes, of course. Bikes are quite popular in my country because cars are expensive to buy and maintain. In addition, bikes are convenient in crowded cities because they help people avoid traffic jams. Many students and office workers use them for short journeys.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and I always use it to go to school.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I always used it to go to school.

The question asks about a past time, and the sentence refers to a childhood habit. Therefore, use the past tense used instead of the present-tense form use. Use the past tense when describing repeated actions or routines in the past.

× Yes, of course it's very popular in my country because car is more expensive.

✓ Yes, of course, bikes are very popular in my country because cars are more expensive.

The noun bikes is plural, so the pronoun it is incorrect because it refers to a singular noun. Use they for plural nouns, or repeat the noun bikes. Also, use a plural noun when speaking about cars in general.

× Yes, of course it's very popular in my country because car is more expensive.

✓ Yes, of course, bikes are very popular in my country because cars are more expensive.

When talking about bikes and cars as general categories, use the plural forms bikes and cars. The singular form car would need an article, such as a car, but the plural form cars is more natural for a general comparison. Practise using plural nouns when referring to things in general.
