Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question in the past tense because it refers to your childhood: use “I had a bike” instead of “I have a bike.” Avoid repetition and hesitation, such as “And,” “It’s it’s,” and “still” several times. Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence, followed by specific details about who gave you the bike and how often you cycle now.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was five, and my father taught me how to ride it. I still enjoy cycling because it is a fun way to exercise, so I usually go for a ride once a week.

Suggestion: Use a natural plural structure such as “Bikes are popular” rather than “the bikes.” Explain why they are popular with a clear reason, and avoid incorrect expressions like “it got famous,” “cyclings,” and “cyclings that bikes.” You could say that more people have started cycling recently and give a specific example, such as seeing many cyclists in parks or on city streets. Also, remove repeated words such as “around the.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Cycling became more popular last year, partly because people wanted a convenient and healthy way to travel. Nowadays, I often see many cyclists riding around town, especially in the parks and at the weekends.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about a past situation, using did and was. Therefore, the answer should use the simple past tense had instead of the present tense have. When answering questions about childhood experiences, use past-tense verbs consistently.

× It's it's still a fun activity for me to do.

✓ It's still a fun activity for me to do.

The subject and verb combination it's is repeated unnecessarily. A sentence should not contain this duplicated structure. Check for repeated words when speaking, especially after hesitations or self-corrections.

× Yes, the bikes are still popular in our country.

✓ Yes, bikes are still popular in our country.

When talking about bikes in general, the plural noun bikes does not need the definite article the. Use the only when referring to specific bikes that both the speaker and listener already know.

× because it got famous last year

✓ because they became popular last year

The antecedent bikes is plural, so the pronoun it is incorrect. Use they for plural nouns. Also, became popular is more natural than got famous when discussing the popularity of a means of transportation.

× there are still a lot of cyclings that bikes around the around the town

✓ There are still a lot of cyclists who ride bikes around town.

Cyclings is not the correct plural noun for people. The correct word is cyclists. In addition, the phrase that bikes is incorrect because bikes is being used as a verb; use who ride bikes to describe people. Use the plural noun cyclists after a lot of because a lot of refers to multiple people here.

× there are still a lot of cyclings that bikes around the around the town

✓ There are still a lot of cyclists who ride bikes around town.

The original sentence has an incorrect relative clause and a repeated phrase: that bikes around the around. Use who ride bikes to form a grammatical relative clause, and say around town without repeating the preposition or adding an unnecessary article. Before submitting an answer, check that each clause has a clear subject and verb.
