Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Soruyu yanıtlamak yerine aynen tekrar etmişsiniz; bu nedenle soruya doğrudan cevap verilmemiş. Önce net bir cevap verin (Yes, I did./No, I didn’t.), ardından geçmişte bisiklet kullanıp kullanmadığınızı ve bununla ilgili kısa bir ayrıntıyı ekleyin. Cevabınızı 2–3 cümleyle tamamlayarak doğal ve etkili hale getirebilirsiniz.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Ana fikriniz açık; ancak “I don't think that” yerine “I don't think so” kullanmalısınız. “There are really not roads” ifadesi doğal değildir; bunun yerine “there aren’t enough bike lanes or safe roads” deyin. Ayrıca “for the people to ride” gereksiz ve yapaydır. Cevabı daha akıcı yapmak için “because” ve “as a result” gibi bağlaçlarla neden-sonuç ilişkisini kurun ve mümkünse ülkenizden kısa, spesifik bir örnek verin.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because there aren’t enough bike lanes or safe roads. As a result, many people prefer to drive or use public transport, especially in busy cities.

× No, I don't think that because there are really not roads for the people to ride, so people don't choose to ride bikes.

✓ No, I don't think so because there really aren't roads for people to ride on, so people don't choose to ride bikes.

The negative form of there are is there aren't, not there are not in this sentence. Also, the expression there really aren't places the adverb really before the negative verb form, which sounds more natural. Use there is or there are to describe the existence or absence of something.

× No, I don't think that because there are really not roads for the people to ride, so people don't choose to ride bikes.

✓ No, I don't think so because there really aren't roads for people to ride on, so people don't choose to ride bikes.

The verb ride normally needs the preposition on when referring to a surface such as a road. Therefore, say ride on roads rather than ride roads. The phrase people is more natural than the people when referring to people in general.
