Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve grammatical accuracy (tense and articles), reduce redundancy, and make the answer more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Watch for repeated phrases (e.g., “around my neighborhood”) and avoid present-tense verbs when describing past events.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it to help me keep fit, and I often rode it with my sister and neighborhood friends after school. It was a simple way for us to explore the area and stay active.

Sugerencia: Clarify meaning and correct grammar and vocabulary. Organize the response: give a clear opinion, then two specific reasons with linking words (for example, ‘first’, ‘second’ or ‘because’). Avoid unclear phrases like “kits to people in middle age” and awkward constructions such as “bike you is one of the activities you can do what your friends.” Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., ‘teenagers’, ‘middle-aged people’, ‘popular for commuting and exercise’).

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. First, many teenagers use them because there are few organized leisure activities in some areas. Second, middle-aged people often cycle to stay fit and sometimes to commute short distances.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense. Use 'had' for possession in the past rather than 'do have' which is present tense. Suggestion: match the verb tense to the time reference (past).

× When I was young, my parents bought a bike for me so that I can stay healthy.

✓ When I was young, my parents bought a bike for me so that I could stay healthy.

The main clause is past ('bought'), so the subordinate clause should use past modal form 'could' not present 'can'. Use 'could' to indicate ability or purpose in the past. Suggestion: keep subordinate verbs in past when main clause is past.

× I used to bike around my neighborhood with my sister or even my neighbors everyday around my neighborhood.

✓ I used to bike around my neighborhood every day with my sister or even my neighbors.

The adverb 'every day' should be placed near the verb 'used to bike' for clarity; repeating 'around my neighborhood' is redundant. Also 'everyday' (one word) is an adjective; use the adverb form 'every day' as two words. Suggestion: avoid redundancy and place adverbs close to the verb they modify.

× Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country, especially in kits to people in middle age because when we were a kid we don't really have any fun activities to do that much.

✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in my country, especially among middle-aged people because when we were kids we didn't really have many fun activities to do.

Multiple issues: 'in kits to people in middle age' is incorrect preposition and word choice — use 'among middle-aged people'. 'When we were a kid' is singular inconsistent with 'we' — use 'kids'. The clause refers to the past, so use past tense 'didn't' instead of 'don't'. 'Any fun activities to do that much' is awkward; 'many fun activities to do' is clearer. Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('among'), plural forms consistent with 'we', and past tense for past time references.

× So bike is one of the options.

✓ So biking is one of the options.

Using the singular count noun 'bike' is odd when referring to the activity; use the gerund 'biking' to refer to the activity in general. Alternatively, 'a bike' could work if referring to the object, but context is activity choice. Suggestion: use gerund forms for activities.

× And also in people in middle age they want to stay healthy and bike you is one of the activities you can do what your friends.

✓ Also, middle-aged people want to stay healthy, and biking is one of the activities you can do with your friends.

This sentence has several problems: 'in people in middle age' is incorrect phrasing — use 'middle-aged people'. 'bike you is' is ungrammatical; use 'biking is'. 'what your friends' is incorrect preposition/structure — use 'with your friends'. Suggestion: simplify structure, use 'middle-aged people' and correct verb/noun forms and prepositions.
