Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Begin with a clear response such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details about the bike, when you used it, or how you felt about it.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and includes a reason, but use the plural form “bikes” when speaking generally and say “in the Philippines.” Also, “on almost all national highways” is more natural than “in almost all the national highways.” To make the response more specific and coherent, explain why people use bikes or give a concrete example of where they are popular.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in the Philippines, especially in large cities. Many people use them for exercise and commuting, and more bike lanes have been built along major roads in recent years.

× Yes, I think bike is popular here in the Philippines.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular here in the Philippines.

When talking about bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes rather than the singular noun bike. The plural subject also requires the plural verb are.

× They even have a bike lane in almost all the national highways.

✓ They even have bike lanes on almost all national highways.

Use the preposition on when referring to lanes located on roads or highways. The preposition in is not appropriate in this context.

× They even have a bike lane in almost all the national highways.

✓ They even have bike lanes on almost all national highways.

Because the sentence refers to almost all highways, use the plural noun bike lanes. Also, national highways is a general plural expression, so the definite article the is unnecessary.
