Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and includes a contrast, but it is slightly contradictory: you say you did not have a bike, then mention memories of riding one. Clarify that you rode other people's bikes or rented them. Also, use the past tense in “my childhood was full of memories” and a more natural phrase such as “memories of riding a bicycle.”

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child. However, I often rode my friends’ bicycles, so my childhood was full of happy memories of cycling around my neighborhood.

Gợi ý: You answer the question directly, but several expressions are unnatural or grammatically inaccurate. Replace “mode of transfer station” with “means of transportation” or “a way to get to work,” and use “some people use” rather than “some of us are using.” Keep the answer concise and connect the two uses with a clear linking word such as “while.”
