Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Expand your answer with a brief topic sentence and one or two supporting details using linking words. Mention when you had the bike, who gave it to you or how you used it to make the response more specific and natural.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was about seven, which my parents bought me for my birthday. I used it every day to go to my friend’s house and practice riding in the park, so I became quite confident on it.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and add specific reasons or examples. Start with a clear topic sentence, then use a linking word (e.g., because, for example) to explain why bikes were popular and whether they still are. Avoid vague phrases and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, they were quite popular, especially among children, because bikes are affordable and good for short trips. For example, I remember many kids riding to school or the park. Nowadays, they are still common in smaller towns, although fewer people use them in big cities because of traffic.

× Yes, especially when we were a kids.

✓ Yes, especially when we were kids.

The error is using the plural noun 'kids' with the article 'a'. When referring to multiple people, do not use 'a'. Use 'kids' without 'a'. Suggestion: remove the article 'a' or change to singular: 'when I was a kid' if speaking about yourself.
