Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear and consistent answer. Your two sentences contradict each other: first you say you did not have a bike, but then you say you had one until the age of ten. Also, use the article “a” before “bike” and avoid fillers such as “uh.” Add one specific detail if possible, such as who bought it for you or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child, but I stopped riding it when I was about ten. My parents bought it for me, and I usually rode it around our neighborhood.

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repeating “in my country.” Use more natural expressions such as “most families own a two-wheeler” instead of “each and every family has its own bike.” Connect your reason with a complete sentence, and finish your idea rather than ending with “they are.” You could also mention convenience or traffic as an additional specific reason.

Example: Yes, motorbikes are extremely popular in my country. Most families own at least one because two-wheelers are much cheaper than cars and are more convenient in heavy traffic. They are especially common among students and office workers.

× I didn't have bike in my childhood.

✓ I didn't have a bike in my childhood.

The singular countable noun bike requires an article. Use a because the speaker is referring to one nonspecific bike.

× because two Wheelers are less expensive as compared to 4 Wheelers and they are.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because two-wheelers are less expensive than four-wheelers.

The original ending is incomplete because and they are does not introduce a complete idea. Combine the reason with the main clause and finish the comparison clearly. Also, use the standard forms two-wheelers and four-wheelers.
