Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is not relevant to the question and is difficult to understand, so it does not communicate whether you had a bike. Begin with a direct answer such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details about how often you used it, where you rode it, or who gave it to you. Avoid unrelated or unclear words.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends after school.

Suggestion: You answer the question directly and give a relevant reason, but there are several grammar and word-choice problems. Add the article “a” in “a really popular mode,” change “move from smaller distances” to “travel short distances,” and use “they don’t take” instead of “doesn’t take.” Also, “So” is less precise here than “In addition” or “This is because.” Make the second sentence more natural and specific by explaining that bikes can avoid traffic and are convenient for short trips.

Example: Yes, I do. Bicycles are a really popular mode of transportation in my country, especially in busy cities with heavy traffic. They are convenient for short distances because they can avoid traffic jams and are also inexpensive to use.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The original sentence is not a meaningful or complete response to the examiner's question. Its words are arranged in a way that does not form a clear sentence. Use a simple subject + verb + object structure, such as: I had a bike when I was a child.

× Yes, I do believe bikes are really popular mode of transportation in my country, especially in cities where we have a lot of traffic.

✓ Yes, I do believe bikes are a really popular mode of transportation in my country, especially in cities where we have a lot of traffic.

The singular countable noun phrase mode of transportation needs the indefinite article a. Use a before a singular countable noun when referring to one example of a general category.

× So bikes can move from smaller distances and they are often used to move quickly and doesn't take a lot of time.

✓ So bikes can travel over short distances, and they are often used to move quickly and do not take a lot of time.

The preposition from is incorrect because it indicates a starting point. Use over when describing the distance that something travels. The natural expression is travel over short distances. Also, short is more appropriate than smaller when no direct comparison is being made.

× So bikes can move from smaller distances and they are often used to move quickly and doesn't take a lot of time.

✓ So bikes can travel over short distances, and they are often used to move quickly and do not take a lot of time.

The subject they refers to bikes and is plural, so the verb must be do, not does. In the negative form, use do not or don't with plural subjects: bikes do not take a lot of time.
