Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then use the past tense consistently: say “I had” and “it was a gift.” Add the missing object in “I didn’t use it much,” and briefly explain why or when you rode it. Separate your ideas with linking words or punctuation to avoid a run-on sentence.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a birthday present, but I didn’t ride it very often because I preferred playing football with my friends.

Gợi ý: Give a clear, grammatically complete answer and support it with a specific detail. Use “bikes” or “cycling” naturally, and correct the time and place phrases to “in the past” and “in my city.” You could explain whether popularity differs between cities or has changed over time.

Ví dụ: Yes, cycling is becoming more popular in Brazil, especially in larger cities. In the past, fewer people rode bikes in my city because there weren’t many safe bike lanes, but that seems to be changing.

× Yes, when I was a child I have one bike actually it's a gift for my birthday but I don't use as much

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had a bike. It was a birthday gift, but I didn't use it very much.

The question asks about a time in the past, so use the past forms had, was, and didn't use to describe the bike and your experience with it then.

× Yes, when I was a child I have one bike actually it's a gift for my birthday but I don't use as much

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had a bike. It was a birthday gift, but I didn't use it very much.

The verb use needs an object here because you mean that you did not use the bike. Add the object pronoun it after use. In general, check whether a verb needs an object and include the appropriate pronoun.

× Nowadays yes bike is very popular in my country.

✓ Nowadays, bikes are very popular in my country.

When speaking generally about bikes as a category, use the plural noun bikes. The plural subject also takes are, not is.

× I live in Brazil but at the past it's not that very common because the infrastructure at my city is not too good for bikes.

✓ I live in Brazil, but in the past, bikes were not very common because the infrastructure in my city was not very good for cycling.

Use in the past, not at the past, and in my city, not at my city. Use in for periods of time and locations such as cities.

× I live in Brazil but at the past it's not that very common because the infrastructure at my city is not too good for bikes.

✓ I live in Brazil, but in the past, bikes were not very common because the infrastructure in my city was not very good for cycling.

The phrase in the past indicates a past situation, so use past-tense verbs: were and was. Keep live in the present tense because it describes where you live now.
