Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly with a complete sentence. The word “Wherever” is unrelated to the question, and repeating “yes” does not provide any useful information. Add one or two specific details, such as when you used the bike, where you rode it, or how you felt about it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school. It was a simple blue bike, but I really enjoyed using it.

Suggestion: Give a clear reason to support your opinion, and avoid the unnatural phrase “more popular in our country” unless you are making a comparison. Use linking words such as “because” or “especially” and include a specific example, such as cycling for exercise, commuting, or avoiding traffic.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. Many people use them for exercise or short trips because they are inexpensive and help them avoid traffic. In large cities, more bike lanes are also being built.

× Wherever.

✓ Yes, I did.

Wherever is an adverb used to refer to any place, so it does not answer the question about whether you had a bike. Use the auxiliary verb did to form a complete answer to a past-tense question beginning with Did you...? The short answer is Yes, I did.
