Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use accurate grammar. Say “when I was a child,” not “when I was child,” and replace “in a used it ride” with “I used to ride it.” The answer has a clear topic sentence and a relevant supporting detail, but the sentence is slightly awkward and needs smoother linking. You could also explain briefly how riding the bike made you more confident, such as by helping you learn road safety.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to the park almost every weekend. As a result, I became more confident and learned how to ride safely on the road.

Gợi ý: Give a clear answer about the popularity of bikes before mentioning other forms of transport. The phrase “not also...but also” is incorrect; use “not only...but also,” although comparing bikes with cars and motorcycles does not directly support your answer. Add a specific reason or example, such as people using bikes for exercise, commuting, or avoiding traffic. Use the plural form “bikes” and “motorcycles” naturally.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines, especially in smaller towns and cities. Many people use them for exercise and short trips because they are affordable and convenient. However, cars and motorcycles are still more common for daily transportation.

× Yes, I had a bike when I was child.

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

The singular countable noun child requires the indefinite article a in this expression. Say a child, not child alone.

× My parents bought it for me when I was seven and in a used it ride to the park almost every weekend, which helped me become confident on the road.

✓ My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I used it to ride to the park almost every weekend, which helped me become confident on the road.

The phrase in a used it ride is incorrectly structured. Use the coordinated clause I used it to ride. After used it, use to plus the base verb: to ride.

× Yes, of course here in the Philippines the bike is so popular not also the bike but also the cars and the motors.

✓ Yes, of course, here in the Philippines, bikes are very popular—not only bikes but also cars and motorcycles.

When talking about bicycles in general, use the plural noun bikes with the plural verb are. The other general nouns should also be plural: cars and motorcycles. Do not use the singular phrase the bike for a general statement.

× Yes, of course here in the Philippines the bike is so popular not also the bike but also the cars and the motors.

✓ Yes, of course, here in the Philippines, bikes are very popular—not only bikes but also cars and motorcycles.

The correct paired conjunction is not only ... but also ..., not not also ... but also .... Use not only before the first item and but also before the second item.
