Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question in the past tense: use “had” instead of “do have.” Correct the phrase “It’s color red” to “It was red” or “It was red in color.” You could also add a specific detail about how or where you used the bike to make your answer more developed and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was red, and I loved riding it around my neighborhood. I usually used it to visit my friends after school.

Gợi ý: Use the plural form and correct the grammar: say “they are a means of transportation” rather than “it’s means of transportation,” and “children who go to school” rather than “kids who’s going to school.” Avoid repeating “popular” at the end. Give a clear reason and one specific example, and use a linking word such as “especially” or “for example” to improve coherence.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient means of transportation. They are especially common among children who ride them to school. For example, many students use bikes because they can avoid traffic and stay active.

× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation, so the main verb should be in the simple past tense. Use had, not do have, because the student no longer refers to the present.

× It's color red and I really love to use it.

✓ Its color is red, and I really love to use it.

Its is the possessive form used to show ownership, while it's means it is. Also, color needs the linking verb is before the adjective red.

× Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because it's means of transportation, especially for kids who's going to school.

✓ Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because they are a means of transportation, especially for kids who are going to school.

Bikes is plural, so use the pronoun they instead of it's. The contraction it's means it is and cannot refer correctly to plural bikes.

× Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because it's means of transportation, especially for kids who's going to school.

✓ Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because they are a means of transportation, especially for kids who are going to school.

The singular countable noun means needs the indefinite article a in this expression: a means of transportation.

× Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because it's means of transportation, especially for kids who's going to school.

✓ Yeah, bikes are popular in our country because they are a means of transportation, especially for kids who are going to school.

Kids is plural, so the relative clause must use who are, not who's. Who's means who is, which does not agree with the plural subject kids.

× So yeah, popular.

✓ So, yeah, they are popular.

The original expression is a sentence fragment because it does not contain a verb. Add the subject they and the verb are to form a complete sentence.
