Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, but avoid repeating the examiner’s wording. Add one specific supporting detail, such as when you used the bike, where you rode it, or how you felt about it. For example, explain whether you rode it to school or played with friends.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends. I really enjoyed it because it gave me a sense of freedom.

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly and use accurate vocabulary: say “bikes,” “cheaper than cars,” and “ride,” not “mics,” “translate cars,” or “write.” Also, use correct grammar for plural subjects: “Bikes are cheaper,” rather than “it’s cheaper.” Develop your answer with two clear reasons and connect them with linking words such as “because” and “also.”

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are cheaper than cars and more convenient in crowded cities. They are also enjoyable to ride, and many people use them for exercise or short journeys.

× I think mics are popular in our country because it's cheaper than another translate cars and it's fun while I write the I I enjoy.

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because they are cheaper than other types of cars, and they are fun to ride, which I enjoy.

The subject bikes is plural, so the pronoun it and the verb is cannot refer to it. Use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are. Also, use they instead of repeating an incorrect singular reference.

× I think mics are popular in our country because it's cheaper than another translate cars and it's fun while I write the I I enjoy.

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because they are cheaper than other types of cars, and they are fun to ride, which I enjoy.

Another is used with a singular countable noun, as in another car. Because cars is plural, use other cars or other types of cars. In this sentence, other types of cars clearly expresses the intended comparison.

× I think mics are popular in our country because it's cheaper than another translate cars and it's fun while I write the I I enjoy.

✓ I think bikes are popular in our country because they are cheaper than other types of cars, and they are fun to ride, which I enjoy.

The ending while I write the I I enjoy is not a complete or grammatically organized clause. The correct expression is fun to ride, which I enjoy. Use the infinitive to ride after fun and which I enjoy to add the speaker's comment clearly.
