Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly and add one specific detail about how you used the bike. Improve grammatical accuracy by saying “I remember it was red” instead of “I remembered it was color red.” Although “it had two wheels” is understandable, this detail is unnecessary because all standard bikes have two wheels. Use a natural linking word such as “In particular” or “I often used it to...” to make the answer more effective.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I remember that it was bright red, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Give a clear reason for your opinion and use the correct verb and pronoun for bikes. Say “ride them” rather than “play it,” because people ride bikes and “bikes” is plural. You could also mention different groups of riders or a specific place to make your supporting detail more precise. Avoid repeating “I do think” after already saying “Yes.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among children and young adults. For example, many children ride them to school or around their neighborhoods because cycling is convenient and inexpensive.

× I remembered it was color red and it had two wheels.

✓ I remembered that it was red and had two wheels.

Color red is not the correct adjective phrase in English. Use the adjective red after the linking verb was. The conjunction that is optional, and the second subject pronoun it can be omitted because the subject remains the same.

× I remember that many children play it at school and even in my neighborhood.

✓ I remember that many children ride them at school and even in my neighborhood.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural, so them is required. Also, ride is the appropriate verb for using a bike; people do not usually play a bike.
