Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly using the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Use “didn’t have” instead of “don’t have,” and say “when I was a child” rather than “when I was the child.” You could also add a brief reason to make the answer more developed.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride on the busy roads near our home.

Gợi ý: Make your opinion clear and avoid the contradiction between “No” and “bikes are popular.” Use the plural form “bikes,” and explain that bikes are not popular because your country lacks dedicated bike lanes. Replace “RCD,” which is unclear, with “we” or the correct subject. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your reason naturally.

Ví dụ: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because we don’t have many dedicated bike lanes. As a result, people often feel unsafe cycling on busy roads and prefer to use cars or public transport.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was the child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation, so the past-tense auxiliary did not, contracted as didn't, is required instead of don't. Use was a child rather than was the child when referring generally to the period of being young.

× No, I don't have a bike when I was the child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The phrase a child refers to one nonspecific period in someone's life. The definite article the is not needed because the sentence is not referring to a specific child.

× No, I think bike is popular in my country because RCD don't have bike routes.

✓ No, I think bikes are popular in my country because RCD doesn't have bike routes.

When speaking about bicycles in general, use the plural noun bikes and the plural verb are. A plural noun is normally used for general statements about countable things.

× No, I think bike is popular in my country because RCD don't have bike routes.

✓ No, I think bikes are popular in my country because RCD doesn't have bike routes.

RCD is treated as one organization or entity, so it takes the third-person singular auxiliary does not, contracted as doesn't. After doesn't, use the base form have, not has.
