Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and make the time reference clear: explain whether you had the bike during your childhood. Use natural phrasing such as “a red bike” and “a beach cruiser,” if that is what you mean. Add one specific detail about how you used it or why it was difficult to ride. Avoid the unclear phrase “it was bad.”

Example: Yes, I did. I had a red beach cruiser when I was a child, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood. It was quite old, though, and the brakes often stopped working.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer first, then explain your reason without repeating “in my country.” Correct the grammar: say “people usually use cars” and “cars are cheap.” Use a linking phrase such as “because of this” and consider adding a specific comparison or example.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Many people prefer cars because they are relatively cheap and more comfortable for longer journeys. As a result, cycling is more common for exercise than for commuting.

× It was red and beach bike.

✓ It was a red beach bike.

The singular countable noun phrase beach bike needs the article a. Place the color adjective before the noun phrase: a red beach bike.

× No I don't because my in my in my country people are usually use cars because in my country country cars is cheap.

✓ No, I don't, because people in my country usually use cars because cars are cheap.

The phrase are usually use incorrectly combines the verb be with the base verb use. For a habitual action in the present simple, say usually use. Also, cars is cheap has incorrect verb agreement: the plural subject cars takes are, not is.
