Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly, then clarify that you did not own a bike but learned to ride one later. Keep the timeline consistent: “when I was small” conflicts with “when I was 18.” Use past-tense forms such as “learned,” “taught,” and “it took,” and say “ride a bike” rather than “ride on a bicycle.” Avoid fillers and aim for two or three clear sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I learned to ride one when I was 18, after a friend taught me. It took me about two days to get the hang of it.

Gợi ý: Give a clear overall opinion and complete your explanation. Specify that you mean Hong Kong, and explain the limited cycling infrastructure more naturally—for example, there are few bike lanes or suitable roads. Avoid repeating “pedestrian street” and finish the contrast about the districts where cycling is more common. Use plural forms such as “bikes” and “districts.”

Ví dụ: I don’t think bikes are very popular in Hong Kong overall because there are relatively few dedicated bike lanes, and many streets are busy. However, cycling is more common in some districts, especially in the New Territories, where there are more cycling paths.
