Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in the first sentence, then add one or two specific details. Use more natural expressions such as “a bike my father gave me,” “get sunburned,” and “scorching heat.” Avoid repetition of “used to,” “always,” and “playing,” and complete the final idea instead of ending with “So they told me to stop.” Use a linking word such as “However” to show the contrast between enjoying cycling and stopping because of the heat.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike that my father gave me when I was young. I often rode it with my cousins because they all had bikes too. However, we usually cycled in the afternoon, and I often got sunburned because of the scorching heat. Eventually, my family encouraged me to ride earlier in the day.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear answer, such as “Yes, bikes are becoming more popular.” Correct the phrasing “it’s very becoming accessible” to “they are becoming more accessible,” and replace “investing into it” with “investing in cycling infrastructure.” Say “people are cycling” or “people are using bikes for exercise,” not “using cycling” or “being a cycling.” Support your opinion with a specific reason, such as wider roads, bike lanes, or government investment, and use “although” or “because” to connect your ideas logically.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are becoming more popular in my country. In the past, cycling was less common, but bikes are now more accessible and many cities are building wider roads and bike lanes. In addition, the government is investing in cycling infrastructure, so more people are using bikes for exercise and short journeys.

× I used to have a bike which was gifted by my father when I was younger. I used to always use it when I was playing with my cousins because they had theirs and the problem was that I always got tunned under the sun because there was a scorching hit when I was playing always in the afternoon. So they told me to stop

✓ I used to have a bike which was gifted by my father when I was younger. I always used to use it when I was playing with my cousins because they had theirs, and the problem was that I always got tunned under the sun because there was a scorching hit when I was always playing in the afternoon. So they told me to stop.

The adverb always should be placed before the main verb phrase it modifies. In this context, I always used to use it is more natural than I used to always use it, and always playing is more appropriate than playing always.

× In the past it was not very popular but right now it's very becoming accessible and the roads are getting wider and the government is investing into it.

✓ In the past, bikes were not very popular, but right now they are becoming very accessible, the roads are getting wider, and the government is investing into them.

The subject bikes is plural, so it must be followed by the plural forms were and they. The singular pronouns it and them do not agree with bikes.

× In the past it was not very popular but right now it's very becoming accessible and the roads are getting wider and the government is investing into it.

✓ In the past, bikes were not very popular, but right now they are becoming very accessible, the roads are getting wider, and the government is investing into them.

The adverb very should be placed before the adjective accessible, not before the present participle becoming. The correct order is becoming very accessible.

× In the past it was not very popular but right now it's very becoming accessible and the roads are getting wider and the government is investing into it.

✓ In the past, bikes were not very popular, but right now they are becoming very accessible, the roads are getting wider, and the government is investing in them.

The standard preposition used with invest when referring to money or resources put into a project or area is in, not into. Also, them correctly refers to the plural noun bikes.

× So I think most of the people right now are using cycling or being a cycling as an exercise.

✓ So I think most people right now are cycling or taking up cycling as exercise.

After are, use a present participle that forms a natural progressive verb phrase, such as are cycling. The phrase being a cycling is not grammatically or idiomatically correct. Use cycling as a noncount activity noun or take up cycling instead.

× So I think most of the people right now are using cycling or being a cycling as an exercise.

✓ So I think most people right now are cycling or taking up cycling as exercise.

Cycling is an uncountable activity noun, so it cannot be preceded by the indefinite article a. Say cycling, not a cycling. In general statements, most people is also more natural than most of the people.
