Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Expand your answer with a brief topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Mention why you didn’t have a bike (e.g., family reasons, safety, or preference) and possibly what you used instead. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe to ride near our busy road. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus, and I sometimes rode a scooter in the park. Looking back, I wish I’d learned to cycle earlier because it seems fun and convenient.

Suggestion: Give a clearer topic sentence and add specific supporting details with linking words (e.g., because, for example, therefore). Describe where bikes are common, who uses them, and reasons for their popularity (cost, traffic, health). Avoid repetition and keep it concise.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are inexpensive and help people avoid traffic. For example, many students and office workers cycle to work or school, especially in urban areas with bike lanes. As a result, you often see crowded bike racks near transit stations and markets.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because you can see the bikes are everywhere.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because you can see bikes everywhere.

Redundant use of the definite article 'the' before 'bikes' is incorrect here; when speaking generally about a noun in plural, do not use 'the'. Also the phrase 'are everywhere' is awkward after 'you can see the bikes'; better to say 'you can see bikes everywhere' for natural word order. Suggestion: remove 'the' and place 'everywhere' at the end for a concise, natural sentence.
