Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly using the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Avoid the redundant phrase “never ever,” and say “I wanted one” rather than “I liked to have it.” Add a specific reason or detail, and use punctuation to separate your ideas.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, although I really wanted one. My parents never bought me one because they thought it wasn’t necessary.

Gợi ý: Make your answer more natural and concise: say “In my country” instead of “in the country that I live in,” and use “drive their own cars” rather than “use the personal cars.” Correct “do university or school” to “go to university or school.” Use a linking phrase to connect your answer to the reason, and give a specific example if possible.

Ví dụ: No, bikes aren’t very popular in my country. Most people drive their own cars, while students often walk to school or university if they live nearby. As a result, you don’t see many people cycling to get around.

× No, I have never ever had a bike in my life Actually I liked to have it but my parents never bought one for me.

✓ No, I never had a bike when I was a child. Actually, I wanted one, but my parents never bought me one.

The question asks about a completed period in the past: your childhood. Use the simple past, 'never had,' rather than the present perfect, 'have never had,' to answer specifically about that period. 'Actually' should also be followed by a comma.

× Not really in the country that I live in, people mostly use cars, the personal cars or they even prefer to walk to work or do university or school instead of using a bike

✓ Not really. In the country where I live, people mostly use cars, especially personal cars, or they even prefer to walk to work or go to university or school instead of using a bike.

The original begins with an incomplete introductory phrase and then joins independent clauses with a comma, creating a run-on sentence. End the answer 'Not really' with a period, and begin a complete sentence with 'In the country where I live.'

× Not really in the country that I live in, people mostly use cars, the personal cars or they even prefer to walk to work or do university or school instead of using a bike

✓ Not really. In the country where I live, people mostly use cars, especially personal cars, or they even prefer to walk to work or go to university or school instead of using a bike.

Use 'personal cars' without 'the' when referring to personal cars in general. The definite article 'the' is used when referring to specific cars that the listener can identify.
