Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is confusing and contains many unclear words and grammar errors. To improve: 1) Answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.” or “No, I didn’t have one.”). 2) Provide one or two specific supporting details (where you rode it, how often, who taught you). 3) Use correct verb forms and simple linking words (because, so, when) to make the response coherent. 4) Keep it concise (no more than 3–4 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it almost every day after school around the neighborhood. I felt a little nervous at first, but my father taught me and soon I became confident.

Sugerencia: Your answer shows an idea but has unclear words and some grammar problems. To improve: 1) Start with a clear direct answer (e.g., “Yes, I think bikes are very popular.”). 2) Give two specific reasons with linking words (for example, “because” and “also”) — mention convenience, cost, avoiding traffic, or environmental benefits. 3) Use accurate vocabulary (commute, traffic jams, students, workers) and correct sentence structure. 4) Keep it concise and avoid repeating phrases.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people use them to commute to work or school because they are cheap and avoid traffic jams, and students often ride bikes around campus for convenience.

× Yet I had your back when I was a child and I seldom read it because I'm a little scared.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child and I seldom rode it because I was a little scared.

The student used 'your back' and 'read' incorrectly. 'Your back' is the wrong pronoun and noun; the intended meaning is 'a bike' (possessive pronoun not needed). 'Read' is the wrong verb; the past tense of 'ride' is 'rode'. Also the present tense 'I'm a little scared' should be past 'I was a little scared' to match 'when I was a child'. Use of correct pronouns and past verb forms fixes the meaning and tense consistency. Suggestion: replace incorrect pronouns with the correct noun, use the past tense 'rode', and make the descriptive verb tense past ('was').

× If I'm alone with my friends, I won't read it anymore.

✓ If I'm alone with my friends, I won't ride it anymore.

The verb 'read' is wrong for using a bike; the correct verb is 'ride'. This is a lexical error rather than a tense error. Keep the conditional structure 'If I'm alone' and future 'won't' if the speaker means a future habit. Suggestion: use the verb 'ride' for bicycles.

× Only with my parents I will write my back.

✓ Only with my parents will I ride my bike.

Multiple issues: 'write my back' is incorrect vocabulary and pronoun order. The intended idea is that the student rides the bike only with parents. Use 'ride my bike'. Also inverting the subject and auxiliary verb ('Only with my parents will I...') is more natural in formal speech, but 'I will only ride my bike with my parents' is also acceptable. Suggestion: use 'ride my bike' and place words in natural order for clarity.

× Yeah, passing.

✓ Yes, they are popular.

'Yeah, passing' is incomplete and unclear; it lacks a subject and verb relevant to the question. The examiner asked if bikes are popular; reply should state a clear opinion like 'Yes, they are popular.' Suggestion: provide a complete sentence with subject 'they' referring to bikes and verb 'are'.

× So because many people in my country use bags to go to work or go to school, it's very convenient and you don't need to worry about the traffic jam.

✓ Because many people in my country use bikes to go to work or school, it is very convenient and you do not need to worry about traffic jams.

The student said 'use bags' instead of 'use bikes'—a lexical/pronoun error that changes meaning. 'It's' -> 'it is' acceptable; 'you don't need to worry about the traffic jam' should be 'you do not need to worry about traffic jams' for generalization and plural. Suggestion: replace 'bags' with 'bikes' and use plural 'traffic jams' when speaking generally about recurring problems.

× So I think it's very popular.

✓ So I think bikes are very popular.

The pronoun 'it' is vague; specify the subject 'bikes' for clarity and agreement. Also 'are' matches the plural noun. Suggestion: use explicit subject and correct verb form for clarity.
