Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Відповідь прямо відповідає на запитання, але граматика й формулювання потребують покращення. Після “I” потрібно вжити “ride”, а не “riding”; також природніше сказати “ride my bike” або “go cycling”. Слово “furthermore” звучить занадто формально для короткої розмовної відповіді. Розділіть минулий і теперішній час та додайте конкретну деталь, наприклад, де саме ви катаєтеся.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I still enjoy cycling with my friends, especially in the park at weekends.

Suggestion: Основна думка зрозуміла, але конструкція “In my opinion on bikes” є неправильною; краще сказати “I don’t think bikes are very popular”. Уникайте повторення “in my country” і використовуйте правильні конструкції: “there are hardly any bike lanes” та “few roads for cyclists”. Додайте конкретну причину або наслідок, наприклад, небезпеку їзди серед автомобілів. Вживайте “bike lanes” або “cycling infrastructure” замість неприродного “bike roads”.

Example: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. There are hardly any bike lanes, so cycling in busy city streets can be dangerous. As a result, most people prefer to use cars or public transport.

× Yes, when I was a child I had a bike and furthermore now I always riding bike with my friends.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had a bike, and furthermore, I now always ride a bike with my friends.

The verb phrase always riding is grammatically incomplete because it lacks an auxiliary verb. Since this describes a regular present activity, use the present simple form ride after the adverb always. For regular habits, use subject + always + base verb, as in I always ride.

× Yes, when I was a child I had a bike and furthermore now I always riding bike with my friends.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I had a bike, and furthermore, I now always ride a bike with my friends.

The singular countable noun bike needs a determiner. Use the indefinite article a when referring to one nonspecific bike. Say ride a bike, not ride bike.

× In my opinion on bikes is not really popular in my country because in my country almost isn't any bike roads and some any roads for bikers.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular in my country because there are hardly any bike lanes or roads for cyclists.

The phrase In my opinion on bikes creates an incorrect sentence structure. In my opinion should be followed directly by the subject of the sentence: bikes. Avoid repeating in my country, and organize the sentence as subject + verb + reason.

× In my opinion on bikes is not really popular in my country because in my country almost isn't any bike roads and some any roads for bikers.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular in my country because there are hardly any bike lanes or roads for cyclists.

Bikes is a plural subject, so it must take the plural verb are, not the singular verb is. Remember to match the verb with the subject: a bike is, but bikes are.

× In my opinion on bikes is not really popular in my country because in my country almost isn't any bike roads and some any roads for bikers.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular in my country because there are hardly any bike lanes or roads for cyclists.

To say that something exists or does not exist, use the there is or there are structure. Because bike lanes or roads is plural, use there are. The phrase almost is not any is not an appropriate there-be construction here.

× In my opinion on bikes is not really popular in my country because in my country almost isn't any bike roads and some any roads for bikers.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are not really popular in my country because there are hardly any bike lanes or roads for cyclists.

Some and any cannot be used together in the phrase some any roads. In a negative statement, use any, or use hardly any to mean very few. Here, hardly any clearly expresses that the country has very few bike lanes or roads.
