Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer in the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Use “Yes, I did” rather than “Yes, I have.” You could add one specific detail, such as what type of bike you had or how often you used it, to make the answer more developed and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Gợi ý: Use the plural subject “bikes” with “they are,” and avoid repeating “due to.” Also, say “rising fuel prices” instead of “fuel increase.” Begin with a clear topic sentence and then give a specific reason or example, using a linking word such as “because” or “as a result.”

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because fuel prices have risen significantly. Many people use them for short journeys because they are affordable and environmentally friendly.

× Yes, I have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the simple past auxiliary did: Did you have a bike...? Therefore, the short answer should also use did, not the present-tense form have. For past simple yes/no questions, use Yes, subject + did.

× Yes, it is popular due to in due to fuel increase.

✓ Yes, they are popular because of the increase in fuel prices.

The noun bikes is plural, so it must be replaced by the plural pronoun they and followed by are, not it and is. Also, increase in fuel prices is the natural noun phrase. Remember to match pronouns and verbs with the number of the noun they refer to.

× Yes, it is popular due to in due to fuel increase.

✓ Yes, they are popular because of the increase in fuel prices.

The phrase due to in due to is grammatically incorrect because the prepositions are repeated. Use one correct cause expression, such as because of or due to. In this sentence, because of the increase in fuel prices is clear and natural.
