Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly instead of repeating it. Begin with a clear yes/no statement and add one specific supporting detail, such as when you got the bike or how you used it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about eight and used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with a reason or example. Correct the grammar in “as myself started to cycle in this two or three years” by saying “I started cycling two or three years ago.” Also, use “cycle” or “ride bikes,” not “recycle,” and replace “in a city” with a more specific phrase such as “in major cities.” Use linking words such as “because” or “for example” to make the answer more coherent.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in major cities. I started cycling two or three years ago because it is a convenient and environmentally friendly way to get around. For example, many people ride bikes to work or use shared bicycles for short trips.

× Of course I think bikes are very popular as myself started to cycle in this two or three years, we often recycle in a city.

✓ Of course, I think bikes are very popular, as I started to cycle in this two or three years. We often recycle in a city.

Myself is a reflexive pronoun and cannot be used as the subject of a clause. Use the subject pronoun I instead. Use I when the speaker performs the action. For example: I started cycling two years ago.

× Of course I think bikes are very popular as myself started to cycle in this two or three years, we often recycle in a city.

✓ Of course, I think bikes are very popular, as I started to cycle two or three years ago. We often recycle in a city.

The preposition in is incorrect when referring to a period that began in the past and continues up to the present. Use ago after a specific period of time, such as two or three years ago. A clearer sentence would be: I started cycling two or three years ago.
