Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is direct and includes a relevant personal detail about where you rode your bike. However, say “bought it for me,” not “bought it to me,” and use “rode my bike” rather than “biked” for more natural phrasing. Also, “in a city far from home” and “near my home” would sound more natural. Add a clear reason or feeling to make the answer more developed, while keeping it to three or four sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me in a city far from our home, and I was really excited to have it. I often rode it around a park near my house, especially at weekends.

Gợi ý: You answer the question directly and give a reason, but the sentence is too long and contains several unnatural phrases. Say “The area isn’t very safe or suitable for cycling” instead of “is not a walkable and safe area,” and use “on the highways” rather than “in the highway.” Avoid “as it is in the highway”; instead, explain that heavy traffic and trucks make cycling dangerous. Use a linking word such as “because” or “as a result” to present the reason clearly.

Ví dụ: No, bikes aren’t particularly popular in my country because many roads aren’t designed for cycling. There are lots of cars and trucks on the highways, so riding a bike can be quite dangerous. As a result, most people prefer to use cars or public transportation.
