Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid repeating the same idea with both “bike” and “bicycle.” Use “I didn’t have a bike” or “I didn’t own one.” Also, “also” is unnecessary at the end. Add a brief reason or detail to make the answer more developed and natural.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was safer for me to walk to school, so I never learned to ride one.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence, then support your opinion with specific reasons and an example. Use “bicycles are popular” rather than “the bikes,” and replace “transportations” with “transport” or “transportation.” Avoid the inaccurate phrase “based on bikes only”; say that bicycles are commonly used for short-distance travel and transporting goods. Use a natural expression such as “from one place to another,” and connect ideas with “because” and “for example.”

Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially in rural areas. Many people use them for short-distance travel because they are affordable and easy to maintain. For example, shopkeepers sometimes use bicycles to transport goods from one place to another.

× Well, no, I didn't have any bike or a bicycle also.

✓ Well, no, I didn't have a bike or a bicycle.

A singular countable noun such as bike normally requires an article, such as a. In addition, also is unnecessary here because or already connects the two alternatives. A simpler and more natural answer is I didn't have a bike or a bicycle.

× Well, no, I didn't have any bike or a bicycle also.

✓ Well, no, I didn't have a bike or a bicycle either.

In a negative sentence, either is normally used instead of also when adding a second negative alternative. However, omitting the adverb entirely is more concise in this sentence.

× Yes, the bikes are popular in our country because uh the transportations and the traveling is based on bikes only.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because transportation and travel are based on bikes.

The plural noun bikes is being used in a general sense, so it does not need the definite article the. Transportation and travel are also general concepts, so the is unnecessary before them.

× Yes, the bikes are popular in our country because uh the transportations and the traveling is based on bikes only.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because transportation and travel are based on bikes.

Transportation is generally an uncountable noun when referring to the system or method of moving people and goods, so it should not be pluralized as transportations in this context. Travel is also the more natural uncountable noun for the activity.

× Yes, the bikes are popular in our country because uh the transportations and the traveling is based on bikes only.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because transportation and travel are based on bikes.

The subject transportation and travel contains two nouns joined by and, so it takes the plural verb are, not the singular verb is.

× So the bikes are very important in our country uh, for travelling and taking the goods to one place to Danitri.

✓ So bikes are very important in our country for traveling and taking goods from one place to another.

When describing movement between two places, use the preposition pattern from one place to another. The phrase to one place to another is incomplete and uses the wrong preposition before the first place.
