Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve grammar, clarity and add supporting details. Begin with a correct topic sentence in past tense (e.g., “No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.”). Then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (because/so/for example) to explain why you didn’t have one or how you got around. Keep your answer natural and within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus because my family lived in a small town and owning a bike was uncommon. For example, I would walk ten minutes to school with my friends every day.

Sugerencia: Give a direct opinion and expand with specific reasons and linking words. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country.”). Then provide 1–2 concrete reasons or examples (infrastructure, climate, culture) using linking words such as because, however, or for example. Keep responses concise and natural.

Ejemplo: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because many people prefer cars for convenience and there are few dedicated bike lanes. For example, in my city most streets are busy and unsafe for cycling, so only a small number of commuters ride bikes.

× I don't have a bike when I was little child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence mixes present simple 'don't have' with a past time marker 'when I was little'. Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the past context; also include the article 'a' before 'child' and idiomatic phrasing 'a child' or 'a little child'. Suggestion: use 'I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'

× I don't think in my country.

✓ I don't think bikes are popular in my country.

The original sentence 'I don't think in my country' is ungrammatical because the verb 'think' needs an object or clause explaining what is thought. The examiner's question asks about bikes' popularity, so provide a complete clause: 'I don't think bikes are popular in my country.' Alternatively, for past/present context choose 'I don't think so in my country.' but the clearer correction is given. Ensure the verb 'think' is followed by a clause or 'so'.
