Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is confusing because “bike” and “cycle” usually mean the same thing, so saying you did not have a bike but had a cycle sounds contradictory. Answer directly, use natural phrasing, and add one specific detail about it. Separate your ideas with appropriate punctuation.

Example: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighbourhood, especially at weekends.

Suggestion: You answer the question clearly and give two relevant reasons. However, “Here I do think” is unnecessary, and “means of communication” is not the right phrase for transport. Say “a cost-effective means of transport” instead, and consider adding a specific example.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in crowded cities. They’re a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to get around, and many people use them for short trips to work or school.

× I did not have a bike when I was a child I had a cycle which was pink in colour.

✓ I did not have a bike when I was a child. I had a cycle which was pink in colour.

The original contains two independent clauses joined without punctuation or a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence. Separate them with a full stop, or join them with a conjunction such as 'but': 'I did not have a bike when I was a child, but I had a cycle which was pink in colour.'
