Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is difficult to understand and does not clearly say whether you had a bike. Start with a direct answer, then give a simple reason. Use the past tense, such as “when I was a child,” and the correct phrases “ride a bike” and “there wasn’t enough space.”

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because we lived in a small place and didn’t have enough room to store one.

Suggestion: You give a clear opinion and a reason, but several expressions are inaccurate or unclear. Say “in my country,” “other vehicles,” “easy to park,” and “cheap to get around.” Avoid repeating fillers, and connect your reason smoothly to your opinion.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re easy to park and cheaper to use than cars, so many people ride them for short trips.

× When I write child

✓ When I was a child

The question refers to a period in the past, so use the past-tense form was rather than write. A natural phrase is When I was a child.

× I really think that bikes are very popular in country nowadays

✓ I really think that bikes are very popular in my country nowadays

Country needs a determiner in this sentence. Use the possessive determiner my when referring to your own country.

× It is easy to parking

✓ It is easy to park

After the adjective easy, use the infinitive with to: to park. Do not use the -ing form parking in this construction.
