Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a fuller, natural response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Mention what kind of bike it was, who gave it to you or how you used it, and use a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought for me when I was six, and I used it to ride around the neighborhood every afternoon. Because it was sturdy and comfortable, I learned to balance quickly and later traded it for a larger bike.

Suggestion: Expand your answer with reasons and a specific example. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give at least one reason and an example, using a linking word to connect them. Use vocabulary related to transport and popularity.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, in my city there are dedicated cycle lanes and bike-sharing schemes, so a lot of students and office workers prefer cycling to avoid traffic.
