Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give one clear reason. Correct the grammar and use natural expressions: “my parents thought” instead of “my parents thinks,” “unsafe” instead of “insecure,” “ride a bike” instead of “drive bike,” and “when I was young” instead of “at a little age.” Avoid repeating “for me.”

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride one when I was young. They were worried that I might have an accident.

Gợi ý: Give your opinion once and avoid repeating “in my country” three times. Use a more natural phrase such as “heavy traffic” instead of “too much of traffic,” and do not use both “because” and “that’s why” in the same sentence. Add a specific result or example to make the answer more developed.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, mainly because many cities have heavy traffic. They are affordable and convenient, especially for short journeys, so a lot of people use them to commute to work or school.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thinks that it was insecure for me for me to drive bike at a little age.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents think that it was unsafe for me to ride a bike at a young age.

The subject parents is plural, so the verb must be think, not thinks. Do not add -s to the verb after a plural subject. Also, ride a bike is the natural expression for using a bicycle.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thinks that it was insecure for me for me to drive bike at a little age.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents think that it was unsafe for me to ride a bike at a young age.

Unsafe is the more natural adjective for describing an activity that could cause danger. Insecure usually describes a person's lack of confidence or something that is not firmly fixed. Young age is the natural expression; little age is incorrect in this context.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thinks that it was insecure for me for me to drive bike at a little age.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents think that it was unsafe for me to ride a bike at a young age.

A singular countable noun such as bike needs an article. Therefore, say ride a bike, not ride bike. Using articles correctly with singular countable nouns will make your sentences more grammatical.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because in my country there is too much of traffic so that's why people prefer to buy bikes in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because there is too much traffic, so people prefer to ride bikes.

Because and so are both conjunctions that show a reason or result, so using because ... so that's why together is redundant. Use either because with the result clause or so with the reason clause. The corrected sentence uses because ... so without the unnecessary that's why.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because in my country there is too much of traffic so that's why people prefer to buy bikes in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because there is too much traffic, so people prefer to ride bikes.

The phrase too much traffic does not take the preposition of. Traffic is an uncountable noun, so use too much traffic, not too much of traffic. Avoiding unnecessary prepositions makes the sentence more natural.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because in my country there is too much of traffic so that's why people prefer to buy bikes in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because there is too much traffic, so people prefer to ride bikes.

Traffic is an uncountable noun, and the correct quantifier is too much traffic. The word of is not needed in this expression. Use too many with plural countable nouns and too much with uncountable nouns.
