Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer responds directly, but it is too brief to develop the topic. Add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, where you rode it, or how you felt about it.

Example: Yes, I did. I got a small blue bike when I was about eight, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Your meaning is understandable, but “here in the country” sounds unnatural, and “bikes” should be treated as plural if you mean bicycles generally. State your view clearly, then support it with a specific reason or example.

Example: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people prefer cars or motorbikes because they are more convenient for longer journeys.

× It's not that popular here in the country.

✓ They aren't that popular here in the country.

The question asks about bikes, which is plural, so the pronoun it should be replaced with they. Use they to refer back to the plural noun bikes.

× It's not that popular here in the country.

✓ They aren't that popular here in the country.

The plural subject they takes the plural verb are, not is. Match the verb to the plural noun bikes that they refers to.
