Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp nhưng thông tin chưa nhất quán: nói có ba chiếc xe đạp nhưng chỉ mô tả hai chiếc. Dùng thì quá khứ khi kể về tuổi thơ, chẳng hạn “as I grew older, my mother bought me…”. Tránh lặp ý và ngập ngừng; hãy nêu loại xe hoặc kỷ niệm cụ thể để câu trả lời rõ ràng hơn.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My first one was a small blue bike, but I outgrew it after a few years. My mother then bought me a road bike, which I used to ride around my neighborhood.

Gợi ý: Bạn đã nêu quan điểm và lý do, nhưng cần sửa hòa hợp chủ-vị: “bikes are”, không phải “bikes is”. Cách diễn đạt “the children's below 15 years old” chưa tự nhiên; hãy dùng “children under 15”. Giải thích rõ quy định độ tuổi lái xe máy và kết thúc câu trọn vẹn, tránh để “therefore” ở cuối.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children under 15. They are too young to ride motorbikes legally, so cycling is a convenient way for them to get around. Many children also ride bikes for fun with their friends.

× Well, the first bike is quite small for me, and so as I grow up, my mother brought me a new bike.

✓ Well, the first bike was quite small for me, and as I grew up, my mother brought me a new bike.

The student is describing childhood events, so the past-tense forms was and grew are appropriate instead of is and grow. Keep brought in the past tense to match the sequence of events.

× Well, the first bike is quite small for me, and so as I grow up, my mother brought me a new bike.

✓ Well, the first bike was quite small for me, and as I grew up, my mother brought me a new bike.

The phrase and so as combines connectors awkwardly. Use and as to introduce the time clause. Avoid adding so before as in this sentence.

× The second one is uh, uh, a road bike.

✓ The second one was, uh, a road bike.

The student is talking about a bike they had as a child, so was is the appropriate past-tense form. Is would describe the bike in the present.

× Yeah, I think bikes is all very popular, especially with the children's below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike, therefore.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are very popular, especially with children below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike.

Bikes is a plural subject, so it must take the plural verb are, not is. Check whether the subject is singular or plural before choosing the verb.

× Yeah, I think bikes is all very popular, especially with the children's below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike, therefore.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are very popular, especially with children below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike.

When referring to children as a general group, do not use the definite article the. Also, children's is possessive and does not fit here; use the plural noun children.

× Yeah, I think bikes is all very popular, especially with the children's below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike, therefore.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are very popular, especially with children below 15 years old, because in my country we have a restricted age when we want to drive a motorbike.

Because already introduces the reason, so adding therefore at the end is redundant and leaves the connector in an unnatural position. Use because to introduce the reason, or remove because and use therefore in a separate clause.
