Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer more directly and avoid repetition in the opening. Use the natural expression “ride my bike” instead of “bike was one of my favorite activities.” Also, say “supermarkets that were quite far away” and “our bikes,” since each person had a bike. Add a specific result or memory to make the answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I loved riding it with my friends during the summer. We often cycled to supermarkets that were quite far away because it was more exciting than walking. It was also a fun way to spend time together and get some exercise.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and gives a relevant reason, but the repeated use of “because” makes the sentence less natural. Use a linking expression such as “This is mainly because” and replace “enjoy daily” with “use on a daily basis.” You could also add a brief comparison or example to provide more specific support.

Example: I would say that bikes are not very popular in my country. This is mainly because there are not enough dedicated cycle lanes, and most of the infrastructure is designed for cars. As a result, many people feel that cycling on busy roads is unsafe, especially during rush hour.

× I clearly remember going to the supermarkets which were quite away with our bike.

✓ I clearly remember going to the supermarkets, which were quite far away, on our bikes.

The preposition on is used with vehicles such as bikes when describing how someone travels. We say travel on a bike, not travel with a bike.

× I clearly remember going to the supermarkets which were quite away with our bike.

✓ I clearly remember going to the supermarkets, which were quite far away, on our bikes.

Because the student refers to traveling with friends and presumably using more than one bike, the plural form bikes is appropriate. The possessive determiner our can modify the plural noun bikes.

× I clearly remember going to the supermarkets which were quite away with our bike.

✓ I clearly remember going to the supermarkets, which were quite far away, on our bikes.

Away cannot be used alone after quite in this expression. The standard phrase is quite far away, where far emphasizes the distance. To improve accuracy, use complete fixed expressions such as far away or quite far from here.
