Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then add one or two clear details. Keep the story in the past: use “liked” and “could,” and say “it was a gift.” Avoid repeating yourself or using fillers such as “yeah.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I named it Arman because it was very fast. I often shared it with my friends, and it was a gift from my parents.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and explain it with a specific reason. Use natural phrases such as “a popular form of transport,” “heavy traffic,” and “get to work quickly.” Avoid repeating “because,” and finish your final point rather than leaving the answer incomplete.

Example: Yes, bikes are a popular form of transport in my country, especially in busy cities. They are convenient because riders can avoid heavy traffic and get to work quickly. They are also cheaper to run than cars.
