Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly, then explain why the bike was meaningful. Avoid repeating “gave his effort” and “gave his all”; use a natural phrase such as “worked hard to buy it.” Keep the contrast between what you needed and wanted clear, and finish your answer with a complete sentence. Check tense consistency: use “could” rather than “can” when describing the past.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought me a second-hand one because it was what our family could afford. Although it wasn’t the bike I had hoped for, I was grateful because he had worked hard to get it for me.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer and clarify when bikes became popular; “during the pandemic” or “after the pandemic began” is more precise than “when COVID-19 ended.” Avoid repeating “transport” and “because of COVID-19.” Explain what kind of bikes or cycling became popular, and give a specific example of the social-media trend if relevant.

Ví dụ: Yes, cycling became more popular in my country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people chose to ride bikes instead of using crowded public transport because they wanted to reduce close contact with others. Cycling videos and photos also became popular on social media, which encouraged more people to try it.

× It was not a brand new bike, but it was very memorable for me because he gave his effort and gave his all so that he can provide me a bike, the one that I needed and not the one that I wanted.

✓ It was not a brand-new bike, but it was very memorable for me because he gave his effort and gave his all so that he could provide me with a bike, the one that I needed and not the one that I wanted.

The sentence describes events in the past, so could is the appropriate past form of can. Use could provide to keep the verb tense consistent with the past-tense narrative.

× Yes, bikes became popular when the COVID-19 ended.

✓ Yes, bikes became popular when the COVID-19 pandemic ended.

COVID-19 is the name of the disease and is not normally used with the definite article the by itself. Adding pandemic makes the noun phrase grammatical: the COVID-19 pandemic.

× It was a new way of transporting because residents here became fearful of transport, public transportation because of the COVID-19, and it was also a new trend in social media platforms.

✓ It was a new way of transporting because residents here became fearful of public transportation because of COVID-19, and it was also a new trend on social media platforms.

The usual preposition for something appearing or becoming popular on social media platforms is on, not in. The correction also removes the unnecessary article before COVID-19.
