Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly using the past tense: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I do not have.” Replace “due to I” with “because,” and avoid repeating the idea that you were small. Give one clear, specific reason.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one at the time. I sometimes borrowed a friend’s bike, though.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear answer, then support it with one or two relevant details. Avoid repeating “my country,” and correct the grammar: use “many people love” and “most people use.” Be specific about the types of bikes or why people ride them.
