Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use the correct word, “bike” (or “bicycle”), rather than “bug.” Add one brief detail, such as when you rode it or where you used it, to make your response more complete.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear answer, such as “Yes, they are quite popular.” Use “compared with” to make the comparison natural, and replace fillers like “like” with precise language. Explain the difference between cycling for recreation and using bikes for transport, with a specific reason or example.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are popular in my country, especially among children. However, they are less commonly used for commuting than they are in many European countries, because people here tend to travel by motorbike or car. Many children still enjoy riding bicycles for fun.

× Of yeah, they're popular, but not as popular as the countries in Europe.

✓ Oh yeah, they're popular, but not as popular as they are in Europe.

The sentence compares bikes with countries, which are not comparable things. Compare how popular bikes are in your country with how popular they are in Europe.

× Mostly we use like motorbikes or cars to transport,

✓ Mostly, we use motorbikes or cars for transportation.

In this sentence, to transport is incomplete because transport normally needs an object, such as people or goods. Use for transportation to express the purpose of the vehicles. You can also remove like here because it does not fit the sentence structure.

× but it's a common like a fun thing to do riding bikes when you're a child,

✓ but riding bikes is a common and fun thing to do when you're a child,

The original construction combines it's a common thing with a fun thing, making the phrase ungrammatical. Make riding bikes the subject and describe it as a common and fun thing to do. Remove like because it interrupts the sentence structure.

× but not as much used for transportation.

✓ but they are not used as much for transportation.

As much is placed awkwardly before used. In this passive construction, place as much after the past participle: are not used as much. Include they to make the subject clear.
