Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in the past tense by saying whether you had a bike as a child. Correct the tense and grammar: use “I have” instead of “I do have,” “I have liked” or “I have enjoyed” instead of “I like” for a continuing interest, and “gave me a bike as a gift” instead of “gave me gift.” Avoid the unclear phrase “I was fighting with my brother to get a new bike”; explain specifically whether you argued with him or asked your father for one. Use a linking word such as “In fact” or “When I was about eight” to connect the supporting details.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave me one as a birthday present when I was about eight. I really enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood, although my brother and I sometimes argued about whose turn it was to use it.

Gợi ý: Give a clear answer about your country rather than narrowing the response to your hometown unless you explain the difference. Avoid repetition such as “Every person, every single person” and use the correct subject–verb agreement: “Everyone uses.” Also, “go to work” and “for everyday use” are more natural expressions. Add a specific reason or example, such as cycling being affordable, convenient, or useful for avoiding traffic, and use a linking word like “especially” or “This is because.”

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people cycle to work because bikes are affordable and help them avoid traffic jams. They are also convenient for short journeys, so people often use them for everyday transportation.

× I do have a bike right now because from my childhood I like to ride a bike.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child, and I have one now because I have liked riding bikes since childhood.

The question asks about a past situation, so the answer should use the past tense, had, when referring to childhood. The present tense, have, is appropriate for describing the bike you own now.

× I do have a bike right now because from my childhood I like to ride a bike.

✓ I have a bike right now because I have liked riding bikes since childhood.

Use since, not from, to describe the starting point of an action or situation that began in the past and continues to the present. The phrase since childhood is the natural expression.

× On my birthday my father gave me gift.

✓ On my birthday, my father gave me a gift.

The singular countable noun gift needs an article. Use a because this is one unspecified gift mentioned for the first time.

× Every person, every single person use a bike to go for work.

✓ Every person, every single person, uses a bike to go to work.

Every person is grammatically singular, so the verb needs the third-person singular form uses, not use. Adding commas also separates the repeated expression, although the repetition is optional.

× Every person, every single person use a bike to go for work.

✓ Every person, every single person, uses a bike to go to work.

The fixed expression is go to work, not go for work, when referring to traveling to one's workplace.
