Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give one clear reason. Improve the grammar by saying “for safety reasons” or “because they were concerned about my safety,” rather than “for the safety reasons.” You could also make the reason more specific by explaining that you lived near busy roads. Avoid combining “terrified of the traffic” with “for safety reasons,” as the meaning is slightly repetitive.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents were worried about the heavy traffic near our home, so they thought cycling was unsafe. Instead, I usually walked or took the bus.

Gợi ý: Start with a natural contrast, such as “Not as much as they used to be.” Correct the verb agreement by changing “most of the people prefers” to “most people prefer,” and replace “in old times” with “in the past.” Add a specific reason or example to support your comparison, such as traffic, convenience, or the availability of public transport.

Ví dụ: Bikes are not as popular as they used to be in my country. In the past, many people cycled because bikes were affordable and convenient. Nowadays, most people prefer public transportation or driving because cities are busier and the distances are often longer.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents were terrified of the traffic and for the safety reasons.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents were terrified of the traffic and concerned about safety reasons.

The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before the general expression 'safety reasons.' A more natural structure is 'concerned about safety reasons.' In general statements, use 'safety reasons' without 'the.'

× Nowadays no, but in old times yes, they were popular. For today, most of the people prefers public transportation or their own cars.

✓ Nowadays, no, but in the old days, yes, they were popular. Today, most people prefer public transportation or their own cars.

The preposition 'for' is incorrect in 'For today.' Use 'today' or 'nowadays' when referring to the present period. Also, 'in the old days' is the more natural expression for referring to a past period.

× Nowadays no, but in old times yes, they were popular. For today, most of the people prefers public transportation or their own cars.

✓ Nowadays, no, but in the old days, yes, they were popular. Today, most people prefer public transportation or their own cars.

The subject 'most people' is plural, so it must take the plural verb 'prefer,' not 'prefers.' Remember that plural subjects do not take the third-person singular -s ending.
