Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Use the past tense consistently: say “had” instead of “have” because the question refers to your childhood. Add one specific detail, such as when you got the bike, how often you rode it, or where you used it. This will make your answer more developed while remaining natural and concise.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Gợi ý: Give a clear reason and avoid the incomplete phrase “they have not only bikes.” You could explain that bikes are popular because they are affordable, convenient, environmentally friendly, or useful for exercise. Use a linking word such as “also” to add a second point, and provide a specific example if possible.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and young adults. They are affordable and convenient, and many people also use them for exercise or commuting to work. In my city, it is common to see bike lanes crowded during the morning and evening rush hours.

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form had is required instead of the present-tense form have. Use the past tense when describing possessions or experiences from a completed time in the past.

× Yes, I think that bikes are popular in my country because a lot of children have a bike and they have not only bikes.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of children have bikes, and they have not only bikes but also other toys.

The plural subject children generally refers to more than one child, so the plural noun bikes is more appropriate than the singular noun phrase a bike in this context. Match the number of the noun to the meaning you want to express: use bike for one bicycle and bikes for multiple bicycles.

× Yes, I think that bikes are popular in my country because a lot of children have a bike and they have not only bikes.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because a lot of children have bikes, and they have not only bikes but also other toys.
