Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use accurate grammar. Say “I didn’t have a bike” rather than “I didn’t have any bike,” and use “used to ride,” not “used to rode.” Also, avoid the awkward phrase “used to ride here and there roaming”; use a natural expression such as “ride around the village.” Add one specific detail to make the answer more complete.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike, but I did have a bicycle. I used to ride it around the village with my friends after school, especially during the summer holidays.

Gợi ý: Give a clear reason for your opinion and avoid repetition. “Popular” is more appropriate than “famous” for bikes, and “young people” sounds more natural than “the youngsters” in this context. Replace the repeated phrase “all across” with a specific description, such as where people ride or why they use bikes. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. Many teenagers ride them with their friends in parks or around their neighborhoods because cycling is an inexpensive and enjoyable way to spend time together.

× No, I didn't have any bike but I had a cycle which I used to rode here and there roaming the village.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike, but I had a bicycle that I used to ride around the village.

A singular countable noun such as bike normally needs an article. Use a bike, not any bike, in this affirmative noun phrase after a negative verb. The phrase a bicycle is also clearer than a cycle in this context.

× No, I didn't have any bike but I had a cycle which I used to rode here and there roaming the village.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike, but I had a bicycle that I used to ride around the village.

Used to is followed by the base form of the verb, so rode must be changed to ride. Do not use the past-tense form after used to. Also, ride around the village is a clearer and more natural expression than rode here and there roaming the village.

× Yes, they are quite popular and famous among the youngsters and they generally travel all across and all across with their friends and enjoy their time with them.

✓ Yes, they are quite popular among young people, and they generally travel around the country with their friends and enjoy spending time together.

The phrase travel all across is incomplete because across normally needs an object, such as the country. The repeated phrase all across and all across also makes the sentence structurally unclear. Use travel around the country to express the intended meaning, and use enjoy spending time together when referring to the students and their friends.
