Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be careful with tense and give a fuller, natural response. Use past tense for childhood and add a brief reason or contrast to make the answer more informative. Keep it under 5 sentences and use a topic sentence followed by one supporting detail with a linking word.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus, so I didn’t learn to ride until I was a teenager.

Gợi ý: Improve fluency and accuracy: avoid hesitations and incorrect words (e.g., ‘fair’ → ‘fare’). Use linking words to structure the answer and give a specific example or statistic to support your point. Keep to a maximum of five sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., commuters, cost‑effective, alternative transport).

Ví dụ: Yes, bikes have become quite popular recently because rising petrol prices make cycling a cost‑effective option. Moreover, many commuters choose bikes for short journeys, for example, people living near the city centre now cycle to work to save both time and money.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The examiner asked about a past situation ('when you were a child'), so the response should use past tense. 'I don't' is present tense; use 'I didn't' to indicate not having a bike in the past.

× Many of the commuters would prefer to have uh, or to use bike instead of commuting or paying for fair transportation.

✓ Many commuters prefer to use bikes instead of commuting by or paying for public transportation.

Several issues: 'would prefer' is conditional and unnecessary here; use simple present 'prefer' for general statements. 'to have uh, or to use bike' is disfluent and missing articles and plural: use 'use bikes'. 'commuting or paying for fair transportation' is incorrect: 'commuting by' or 'paying for public transportation' is correct. Also 'fair' is wrong word; 'public' is intended.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country right now because of the gas price inflation.

✓ Yes, I think bicycles are popular in our country right now because of rising gas prices.

Style and article issues: 'bikes' is fine but 'bicycles' is more formal; 'gas price inflation' is awkward—use 'rising gas prices'. Plural 'prices' matches 'rising' and context. No article needed but word choice improved for clarity.

× instead of commuting or paying for fair transportation. Fair I mean.

✓ instead of using public transportation. I mean 'public transportation'.

Preposition and word choice: 'paying for fair transportation' is incorrect—'public transportation' is the correct noun. Also 'commuting or paying for' is redundant; prefer 'using public transportation'. The short clarification 'Fair I mean' is informal and ungrammatical; restate clearly.
