Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repeating the same idea. The phrase “I used to have not a motorbike” is unnatural; say “I didn’t have a motorbike—I had a regular bicycle.” Also, replace “that we used to use like as a child” with a specific detail about where or when you rode it. Use one or two supporting sentences and a linking word such as “because” or “usually.”

Example: Yes, I had a regular bicycle when I was a child, although I didn’t have a motorbike. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, especially at weekends.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion and support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid repeating vague words such as “kinda,” “kind of,” “great,” and “good,” as they make the answer less precise. Explain who uses bikes and why, for example, for commuting, exercise, or avoiding traffic. Use a linking word such as “because” or “for example” to make the answer more coherent.

Example: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who want to exercise. They are convenient and inexpensive, and in crowded cities they can also help people avoid traffic jams.

× Yeah, I used to have not a motorbike.

✓ Yeah, I did not use to have a motorbike.

The negative word not is placed incorrectly. In the negative form of used to, use did not use to, followed by the base verb have.

× It's just a normal cycle that we used to use like as a child.

✓ It was just a normal bicycle that I used as a child.

Like as is incorrect in this sentence. Use as to describe a person’s age or situation. Also, I is more consistent because the student is describing their own childhood experience.

× Yeah, it's kinda normal in my country.

✓ Yeah, bikes are quite common in my country.

The question is about bikes, which is plural, so the subject should be bikes rather than the singular pronoun it. The plural subject bikes also correctly takes the plural verb are.
