Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer does not clearly answer the question and appears to be unintelligible. Begin with a direct answer such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details, such as when you used the bike, where you rode it, or who gave it to you. Use natural, relevant vocabulary and keep the response to no more than five sentences.

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

Suggestion: Your answer does not express an opinion about the popularity of bikes. Answer directly with “Yes, they are” or “No, they aren’t,” and support your opinion with a reason and a specific example. Use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “however” to make your answer coherent.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who want to exercise. For example, many people ride bicycles in parks or use them to travel short distances because they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly.

× Especially Amen.

✓ Yes, I did.

The original response is not a complete sentence because it does not contain a meaningful subject and verb. To answer the question about whether you had a bike as a child, use the past-tense auxiliary verb did: Yes, I did.
