Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly using the past tense: “No, I didn’t.” Avoid repeating the same idea several times and remove fillers such as “uh” and “that’s it.” Also, saying that you were not a child at 12 is unnecessary and sounds slightly unnatural. Add one specific reason or feeling to make the answer more developed, such as whether you enjoyed learning to ride the bike.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was very young. My father bought me one when I was 12, so I learned to ride it as a teenager. I was really excited because I could ride to school and visit my friends independently.

Gợi ý: Give a clear, natural opening such as “Yes, I think bikes are quite popular.” Avoid repeating “popular” and remove fillers. The name and location of the city are unclear, so state them accurately or describe the place without an uncertain phrase. Use correct forms such as “cars and buses” and explain the connection more clearly: bikes are convenient because the city has narrow streets and heavy traffic. Include a specific example to support your opinion.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. For example, in some northern cities, the streets are narrow and often crowded, so cycling is more convenient than driving. Bikes are also affordable and environmentally friendly, which makes them a practical form of transport.

× No, unfortunately I don't.

✓ No, unfortunately, I didn't.

The examiner asks about the past, using Did you have...? Therefore, the answer should also use the past auxiliary did. Use didn't instead of don't when answering a question about a past situation.

× I didn't have any bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs a determiner. In this sentence, a bike is the natural choice. Use a or an with a singular countable noun when referring to one nonspecific item.

× Uh, so as a child I didn't have any bike.

✓ So, as a child, I didn't have a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun and cannot normally be used without a determiner. Use a bike to mean one nonspecific bike. Also, commas help separate the introductory phrase as a child.

× Other transport vehicles such as cars or bus cannot fit in a small city like that.

✓ Other transport vehicles, such as cars or buses, cannot fit in a small city like that.

The noun cars is plural, so the parallel noun should also be plural: buses, not bus. When listing examples joined by or, keep the nouns grammatically parallel.

× They are very popular because it's a small city and other transport vehicles such as cars or bus cannot fit in a small city like that in a small.

✓ They are very popular because it is a small city, and other vehicles, such as cars and buses, cannot fit easily in a city that small.

The original sentence ends with the incomplete phrase in a small, which makes the sentence structurally incomplete. Finish the comparison with a complete phrase such as a city that small. The revised sentence also avoids repeating small city unnecessarily.
