Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, then give one clear reason and, if possible, a brief personal detail. Correct the grammar: use “were not allowed” for a past situation, “until we turned 18,” “18 years old,” and “ride a bike.” Avoid repeating the same idea in the final sentence. Also, make sure the information is logically accurate; if this is a personal family rule rather than a national law, say so clearly.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents didn’t allow me to ride one until I was 18. They were worried about traffic, so I usually walked or took the bus to school.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and then explain popularity with specific, natural details. Avoid repetition such as “Yeah, yes,” and use “young people are particularly interested in sports bikes” instead of “they are inclined too much for sports bike.” Use linking words such as “in addition” only when the following idea is complete. Finish your answer; the final sentence is incomplete. You could also mention practical reasons, such as convenience, affordability, or avoiding traffic.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially among young people. Many people choose them because they are affordable and convenient in heavy traffic. In addition, sports bikes are attractive to teenagers and young adults because of their stylish designs and powerful engines.

× No, I did not have a bike when I was a kid because we are not allowed to ride a bike until we turn 18 year.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a kid because we were not allowed to ride a bike until we turned 18.

The answer refers to a rule that applied during the speaker's childhood, so the past forms were and turned should be used instead of are and turn. Keep the verb tense consistent with the past-time context.

× No, I did not have a bike when I was a kid because we are not allowed to ride a bike until we turn 18 year.

✓ No, I did not have a bike when I was a kid because we were not allowed to ride a bike until we turned 18.

The expression 18 years old is normally used with the plural noun years. In this sentence, however, the word years is omitted because the age is expressed directly with the verb turned. Do not use the singular form year after 18.

× It is a law in my country so I was not allowed to ride bike.

✓ It is a law in my country, so I was not allowed to ride a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs a determiner. Use the indefinite article a when referring to one nonspecific bike. A comma before so also helps separate the two independent clauses.

× They are inclined too much for sports bike.

✓ They are too inclined toward sports bikes.

The adjective inclined is followed by toward or to, not for, when describing a strong preference or tendency. The natural phrase is inclined toward sports bikes.

× They are inclined too much for sports bike.

✓ They are too inclined toward sports bikes.

The sentence refers to sports bikes in general, so the plural form bikes is more appropriate than the singular form bike. Use a singular noun only when referring to one specific bike.

× Apart from that it is a very.

✓ Apart from that, bikes are also very popular in my country.

The original sentence is incomplete because very must be followed by an adjective or adverb, and the sentence does not express a complete idea. Add a complete subject and predicate, and use also to connect this idea naturally to the previous sentence.
