Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, but use the past tense consistently: “didn’t have” instead of “do not have.” You could also add a brief reason or detail to make the response more developed, such as explaining how you usually travelled or why you did not own a bike.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was safer for me to walk to school, which was only a few minutes from our home.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and then explain the main reason with more natural grammar. Use “bikes” rather than “the bikes,” “people who” rather than “people which,” and “use bikes for daily transportation” instead of “take bikes for their usual travelling things.” Avoid fillers such as “uh,” and add a specific example or comparison if possible.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who cannot afford cars. They are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. In addition, many people use bicycles to avoid traffic and reduce their transportation costs.

× No, I do not have a bike when I was a child.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation, so the answer should use the simple past tense. Use did not have instead of do not have because when I was a child refers to the past.

× Yes, I think the bikes are popular in our country because uh, some people which cannot afford cars and they can take bikes for their usual travelling things.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because, uh, some people who cannot afford cars can use bikes for their usual travel.

When talking about bikes in general, do not use the definite article the before bikes. Use bikes instead of the bikes. Also, removing and they makes the sentence structure more concise and avoids an unnecessary repetition of the subject.

× Yes, I think the bikes are popular in our country because uh, some people which cannot afford cars and they can take bikes for their usual travelling things.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country because, uh, some people who cannot afford cars can use bikes for their usual travel.

Use who, not which, to introduce a relative clause referring to people. Who is used for people, while which is generally used for things or animals.
