Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly, then add one or two relevant details, such as your age, who gave you the bike, or how you used it. A one-word answer does not give you enough opportunity to demonstrate fluency or vocabulary.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My parents bought me my first bike when I was about eight, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood.

Gợi ý: Your answer includes relevant personal details, but it does not directly explain whether bikes are popular in your country. Start with a clear opinion and support it with a specific reason or example. Also, say “my parents bought me a bike” and “for exercise”; avoid fillers and keep the response focused.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities with dedicated cycle lanes. They’re an affordable way to get around, and many people also ride them for exercise. I’ve started cycling regularly myself as an adult.

× My parents bought me when I was, uh, eight years old, my first bike.

✓ My parents bought me my first bike when I was, uh, eight years old.

The original sentence places the object, my first bike, after the time clause, which makes the sentence structure confusing. Put the object after bought me and place the time clause afterward.

× But since then I have bought my own bike as an adult and I'm trying to use it a lot as an exercise.

✓ But since then I have bought my own bike as an adult, and I'm trying to use it a lot for exercise.

Use for exercise to describe the purpose of using the bike. As an exercise suggests that the bike itself is an exercise; for exercise clearly means using it to exercise.
