Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly using the past tense because it refers to your childhood. Correct the vocabulary and grammar: use “bike” instead of “bag,” “my dad borrowed one for me” or “my dad bought one for me,” and avoid ending with “and.” Add one specific detail about how you used the bike. Keep the answer to two or three complete sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. My dad bought me a bike when I was about eight years old, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear opinion, such as “Yes, definitely.” Use “are” rather than repeating unclear words, and complete the answer instead of stopping at “so.” Support your opinion with a specific reason or example, such as bikes being affordable, convenient, or useful for exercise. Use a linking word like “because” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, definitely. Bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. Many people also ride them for exercise, especially in the evening.

× Yes I do, I have a bag where when I was a child my dad is borrow for me and.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike that my dad bought for me when I was a child.

The question asks about the past, so use past-tense forms: did and had, not do and have. The phrase is borrow is also not correctly formed for a past event; bought is the appropriate past-tense verb here. Use a complete sentence and avoid adding and at the end.

× Yes I do, I have a bag where when I was a child my dad is borrow for me and.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike that my dad bought for me when I was a child.

The original sentence contains several clauses in an incorrect order and does not clearly express the main idea. A natural structure is: answer the question first, then state what you had, and finally add the relative clause describing who bought it. Also, the question asks about a bike, but the original answer says bag, so use bike to answer the question accurately.

× Here's of course bikes are popular in my country so

✓ Yes, of course, bikes are popular in my country.

The conjunction so is unnecessary at the end because the sentence is already complete. Do not leave a conjunction without a following clause. Also, use Yes, of course as a natural way to agree with the examiner.

× Here's of course bikes are popular in my country so

✓ Yes, of course, bikes are popular in my country.

Here's means here is and does not fit this response. The sentence should begin with a clear answer, followed by the subject and verb: bikes are popular. Use commas around of course because it is an interrupting phrase.
