Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly with a natural expression such as “Yes, I did.” Avoid repeating “bike” and correct the grammar: say “ride a bike” rather than “use a bike,” “riding a bike was one of my hobbies” rather than “riding bike was my hobbies,” and “shopping mall” may be less natural than “the mall” in this context. Add a specific detail about how often you rode or how you felt. Keep the answer to two or three well-linked sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. I often rode my bike to the park or the mall with my friends after school. Riding a bike was one of my favorite hobbies because it was enjoyable and helped me stay active.

Suggestion: Start with a complete topic sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Use correct capitalization and grammar: “riding bikes is healthy,” and “cars emit carbon dioxide.” Connect your ideas with linking words such as “Moreover” or “In contrast,” and finish the sentence instead of ending with “but.” Give a specific example, such as people cycling to work or using shared bikes in cities.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Riding a bike is healthy and environmentally friendly because cars emit carbon dioxide. Moreover, many people use bicycles for short trips or to avoid traffic jams.

× I cycled to the park or shopping mall with my friends and riding bike was my hobbies.

✓ I cycled to the park or shopping mall with my friends, and riding bikes was one of my hobbies.

The plural noun bikes is appropriate when speaking about the activity in general, and hobbies must agree with one when the phrase means one activity among several. Use one of my hobbies when the noun is plural but you are referring to a single activity.

× Riding bike was my hobbies.

✓ Riding a bike was one of my hobbies.

The singular countable noun bike needs an article. Use a before bike when referring to a nonspecific bike. You can also use the plural form bikes when discussing the activity in general.

× Yes, I think so Riding Bikes is healthy for people and the environment also moving by cars emit carbon dioxide, but

✓ Yes, I think so. Riding bikes is healthy for people and the environment, while traveling by car emits carbon dioxide.

The original response contains several incomplete and incorrectly connected clauses. Separate the first statement with a period and connect the two complete ideas with while. Do not leave but at the end of an unfinished sentence.

× Moving by cars emit carbon dioxide.

✓ Traveling by car emits carbon dioxide.

The subject traveling by car is a gerund phrase and functions as a singular subject, so it requires the singular verb emits, not emit. When describing transportation in general, by car is also the usual expression.
