Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Use the past tense consistently because the question asks about your childhood: say “I had” and “I rode,” not “I do have” or “I have.” Avoid repeating “while” and replace unnatural phrases such as “into forest” and “play in the nature” with “through the forest” and “enjoy nature.” You could also make the answer more effective by adding a specific detail about where you rode or how you felt. Try to answer in three or four clear sentences without fillers such as “uh.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it in my free time, especially with my friends. We usually cycled through the forest near my hometown and enjoyed being outdoors together.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer and then explain it with a clear reason. Change “a regular sized city” to “a medium-sized city,” and use the plural pronoun “them” when referring to shared bikes. The phrase “use it very conveniently” is unnatural; say “use them very conveniently” or, more naturally, “they are very convenient to use.” You could improve the answer further by mentioning why people use bikes, such as avoiding traffic or reducing travel costs.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are very popular in China, especially in my hometown, which is a medium-sized city. There are many shared bikes on the streets, and people often use them for short journeys because they are convenient and inexpensive. They are also a good way to avoid traffic.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about a past situation using did have, so the answer should also use the past tense had rather than the present-tense form do have.

× While I was a child I rode the bike while I have some leisure time, especially with my friends and uh, we rode our bike into forest and play in the nature.

✓ When I was a child, I rode my bike whenever I had some leisure time, especially with my friends, and we rode our bikes into the forest and played in nature.

The whole experience happened in the past, so have should be changed to had and play should be changed to played. Use the past tense consistently when describing childhood experiences.

× While I was a child I rode the bike while I have some leisure time, especially with my friends and uh, we rode our bike into forest and play in the nature.

✓ When I was a child, I rode my bike whenever I had some leisure time, especially with my friends, and we rode our bikes into the forest and played in nature.

The subject we refers to more than one person, and the sentence describes riding more than one bike. Therefore, bike should be pluralized as bikes in the phrase our bikes.

✓ When I was a child, I rode my bike whenever I had some leisure time, especially with my friends, and we rode our bikes into the forest and played in nature.

Forest is a specific place in this context, so it should be preceded by the. However, nature is normally used without the when referring to the natural world in general, so in the nature should be changed to in nature.

× We can use it very conveniently.

✓ We can use them very conveniently.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to shared bikes, which is plural. Use the plural object pronoun them to agree with bikes.
