Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give one clear reason. Use “a bike” rather than “any bike,” say “at that time,” and use “couldn’t afford to buy me one.” Avoid filler words and repeating the same point.

Ví dụ: No, unfortunately, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family had a limited budget at the time, so my father couldn’t afford to buy me one.

Gợi ý: Your reasons are relevant, but the response is one long sentence and the final phrase, “there are less possible,” is unclear. Break your ideas into shorter sentences, use linking words such as “because” or “also” sparingly, and say “a bike” and “less likely to get stuck in traffic.”

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Since many cities are crowded and the roads can be narrow, bikes are often more convenient than cars. They’re also easier to park and can help people avoid traffic jams.

× Uh, no, unfortunately I didn't have any bike when I was a child.

✓ Uh, no, unfortunately I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

In this sentence, the speaker means one bike. Use the article a before the singular countable noun bike. A natural alternative is I didn't have any bikes, using a plural noun after any.

× Umm, because my father was a banker and he had limited amount of income that time.

✓ That was because my father was a banker and had a limited amount of income at that time.

The original begins with because, which makes it a dependent clause, so it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Begin with That was because to make it a complete sentence. The correction also removes the repeated subject he, which is unnecessary here.

× Umm, because my father was a banker and he had limited amount of income that time.

✓ That was because my father was a banker and had a limited amount of income at that time.

Amount is a singular countable noun in this expression, so it needs an article. Use a limited amount of income.

× Umm, because my father was a banker and he had limited amount of income that time.

✓ That was because my father was a banker and had a limited amount of income at that time.

Use at before that time when referring to a particular point or period in the past. The phrase that time is not the standard expression in this sentence.

× Umm, that's why he didn't afford to buy a bike for me.

✓ That was why he couldn't afford to buy a bike for me.

To express that someone lacked the financial ability to do something, use couldn't afford. Didn't afford is not the appropriate form for this intended meaning.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable and my country is overpopulated so bikes are more flexible than having a car because the roads in my country are so narrow and it's really easy if someone has bike and they can move anywhere easily and there are less possible.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable, and my country is overpopulated, so bikes are more flexible than cars. The roads in my country are very narrow, and it is easy for someone with a bike to get around.

The original compares bikes, a noun, with having a car, an activity. Compare like with like: bikes are more flexible than cars. The correction also separates the long sentence to make the ideas easier to follow.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable and my country is overpopulated so bikes are more flexible than having a car because the roads in my country are so narrow and it's really easy if someone has bike and they can move anywhere easily and there are less possible.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable, and my country is overpopulated, so bikes are more flexible than cars. The roads in my country are very narrow, and it is easy for someone with a bike to get around.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a bike, or rephrase the sentence as someone with a bike.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable and my country is overpopulated so bikes are more flexible than having a car because the roads in my country are so narrow and it's really easy if someone has bike and they can move anywhere easily and there are less possible.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because they are reasonable, and my country is overpopulated, so bikes are more flexible than cars. The roads in my country are very narrow, and it is easy for someone with a bike to get around, with fewer possibilities for delays.

Use fewer rather than less with plural countable nouns. Possible is an adjective and cannot stand alone as the noun in this phrase; the correction supplies the noun possibilities. If you meant a specific kind of problem or limitation, name it after fewer, such as fewer delays or fewer restrictions.
