Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and then add one or two specific details. Correct the word order and verb tense: say “my father bought me a red one” and “I really liked it.” Avoid fillers such as “uh,” and use a more natural expression such as “my first attempt to ride it” instead of “my first attempt trying to use this bike.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was a child, my father bought me a red bike, and I really liked it. I still remember my first attempt to ride it because I found it difficult to balance, but I gradually became more confident.

Gợi ý: Give a clear answer and organize the supporting details with linking words such as “because” and “for example.” Avoid unclear or incorrect phrases: say “in cities such as São Paulo” rather than “cities like you, Claro,” “use bikes for many activities” rather than “use bikes to everything,” and “areas without good public transport” if that is your intended meaning. Include one specific reason why bicycles are popular.

Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities such as São Paulo. They are useful for commuting to work or school and for avoiding heavy traffic.
