Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct to the question with a clear topic sentence, avoid irrelevant details (like 'bag'), and add a brief specific reason or feeling. Use linking words if you add extra information. Keep answers natural and up to five sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My parents could only afford one, so they bought it for my older brother. As a result, I usually walked to school or used public transport. I felt a little left out at times, but I learned to be independent.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a specific reason or example linked by a connective (for example, 'because' or 'for instance'). Use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'commute' instead of 'travel') and expand slightly with one or two supporting details.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to commute. For instance, many students at my college commute by bike to avoid traffic and save money on transport. In some cities, there are also dedicated bike lanes that make cycling safer and more common.

× No, my family favored only my brother so they gave a bag to only him.

✓ No, my family favored only my brother, so they gave a bag only to him.

The original sentence misorders the adverb 'only' and uses 'to only him' which is less natural; this is primarily an incorrect use/placement of a pronoun phrase and placement of 'only'. Move 'only' to modify 'to him' correctly as 'only to him' or place it before 'my brother'. Also add a comma before 'so' to join two independent clauses. Suggestion: 'No, my family favored only my brother, so they gave a bag only to him.' or 'No, my family favored only my brother, so they gave a bag to him.'

× Yes, they are. Many people in my college used to travel by their bikes.

✓ Yes, they are. Many people at my college travel by bicycle.

The phrase 'in my college' is an incorrect preposition choice; use 'at my college'. 'Used to travel' implies they no longer do so; if the intention is current habit, use present simple 'travel'. Also 'by their bikes' is awkward; use 'by bicycle' or 'on bikes'. This correction fixes tense (present simple for current habit) and preposition use. Suggestion: 'Many people at my college travel by bicycle.'
