Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words like “uh.”

Ví dụ: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. In my country it was uncommon for parents to buy bikes, so I mainly walked to school or used public transport. As a result, I didn’t learn to ride until I was a teenager.

Gợi ý: Give a clear reasoned answer and add a specific example or comparison. Use linking words (because, for example, therefore) and avoid repetition and fillers. State one or two concrete reasons and an example to support your view.

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many young people prefer them as a cheap and convenient way to travel. For example, students often save money for months to buy a second‑hand bike, and some cities have many bike lanes, which makes cycling practical and safe.

× No, it is not common, uh, to give their children bikes during their childhood.

✓ No, it was not common to give children bikes when I was a child.

The student mixes pronouns and reference time. 'Their' is a plural gender-neutral pronoun that doesn't match the singular speaker 'I.' The question asks about the student's own childhood, so use first person and past tense: 'it was not common' and 'when I was a child.' Also remove unnecessary filler words and redundant phrase 'during their childhood.' Use 'children' after 'give' without a determiner or use 'my children' if referring to one's own kids. Suggestion: keep pronoun consistent with the speaker and match tense to the time referenced.

× So I don't have so I didn't.

✓ So I didn't.

This sentence mixes present and past tense ('I don't have' and 'I didn't') creating a conflicting structure. Since the context is childhood, use the past simple: 'So I didn't.' Remove the redundant present-tense fragment. Suggestion: choose the tense that matches the time being discussed and avoid repeating the same idea in different tenses.

× So I didn't have during my childhood.

✓ I didn't have one during my childhood.

The original lacks an explicit object after 'have.' In English, 'have' usually requires an object in this context: 'have a bike.' Adding 'one' clarifies the reference to a bike. Also keep past tense consistent. Suggestion: include the noun or a pronoun (one) when omitting the noun to avoid ambiguity.

× Yes, they are more popular in my country because many young people are fond of these bikes.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many young people are fond of them.

The phrase 'they are more popular in my country' compares popularity to an unstated alternative; simpler is 'bikes are very popular.' Using 'these bikes' is awkward when speaking generally — use 'them' or 'bikes.' Ensure pronoun reference is clear. Suggestion: state the subject noun ('bikes') then refer back with 'them' for clarity in general statements.

× They usually save a lot of money and uh money for a considerable amount of time.

✓ They usually save a considerable amount of money for a long time.

The original repeats 'money' and uses an awkward word order. Combine ideas concisely: 'save a considerable amount of money' is standard, and 'for a long time' or 'over a long period' expresses duration. Remove filler 'uh.' Suggestion: avoid repetition and filler words; use natural collocations like 'save money' and 'for a long time.'

× I think uh.

✓ I think so.

The fragment 'I think uh' is incomplete and contains filler. 'I think so' is a complete response indicating agreement or conclusion. Suggestion: avoid filler sounds and complete the thought with 'so' or a clause explaining what you think.
