Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood: say “Yes, I did.” Avoid repeating the gift detail, and use a clear sequence to explain when you got the bike and what it was like. Finish your description with a complete detail instead of trailing off.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. My first bike was a birthday present from my parents when I was seven. It was quite small, which made it easy for me to ride. I was excited to learn how to use it.

Gợi ý: Your answer gives a relevant reason and examples of where people ride. Improve the grammar by using “bikes are” and “commute by bike.” You could also make the opening more direct and add a specific point about why cycling is convenient. Avoid filler words such as “um.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. They are relatively inexpensive, and many people commute by bike to school or work. People also use them to get to the city centre or nearby shops because cycling can be convenient in busy areas.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question asks about a past time, when you were a child, so use the past-tense form did rather than the present-tense form do.

× I do own a bike when I was a child.

✓ I owned a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to the past. Use owned, the simple past form of own, to keep the verb tense consistent.

× Actually my first bike, I it was a gift from my parent when I got it as a birthday gift when I was seven years old.

✓ Actually, my first bike was a birthday gift from my parent when I was seven years old.

The original sentence has a redundant subject structure in my first bike, I it was and repeats the idea of a gift. Use one clear subject and verb: my first bike was.

× And the bike was uh pretty small and it has like a a small

✓ And the bike was pretty small, and it had, like, a small...

The speaker is describing a bike from childhood, so the past-tense verb had is needed instead of has. The transcript ends before the description is complete.

× It's because bike are cheaper

✓ It's because bikes are cheaper

Bike is being used to refer to bicycles in general, so it should be plural: bikes. The plural noun correctly agrees with are.

× A lot of people um commute daily with bike

✓ A lot of people commute daily with a bike.

A singular countable noun such as bike needs a determiner. Add the article a before bike.
