Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then explain the situation in one or two complete sentences. Use “rode a bike well” rather than “was riding a bike so good,” and avoid ending with “and,” which leaves your answer unfinished. You could also clarify that you sometimes borrowed your sister’s bike.

Ví dụ: Yes, I sometimes rode a bike when I was a child, although it belonged to my sister. She was much more confident on it, but I was a little afraid of falling. I only borrowed it occasionally.

Gợi ý: Give a clear overall answer before adding a specific example. Avoid repeating words such as “not” and “my,” and say “not in every area” or “not everywhere.” Correct the comparison to “people don’t use bikes as often as cars or motorbikes,” and briefly explain where bikes are more or less common.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are popular in some parts of my country, but their popularity varies by area. In my hometown, for example, people tend to travel by car or motorbike because these options are more convenient. However, cycling is more common in places with dedicated bike lanes.

× It was my sister's bike because she was riding a bike so good.

✓ It was my sister's bike because she rode a bike so well.

Good is an adjective, but the sentence needs an adverb to describe how she rode. Use well after the verb rode. The simple past rode also fits the past-time context.

× I think so, yeah, but not not in all the area in my country.

✓ I think so, yeah, but not in all areas of my country.

All refers to more than one area here, so use the plural noun areas. The repeated not is a speech disfluency and has been removed.

× People not often use a bike as much as they use they're using their car or the motorbike.

✓ People don't often use bikes as much as they use cars or motorbikes.

To make a negative statement in the present simple, use do not or don't before the base verb: people don't use. Avoid combining use with are using in this comparison; keep the present-simple form use throughout.

× They use they're using their car or the motorbike.

✓ They use their cars or motorbikes.

They're means they are, whereas their is the possessive pronoun needed before car. Use their to show that the cars belong to the people being discussed.
