Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a complete explanation of why you enjoyed cycling. Use the correct phrase “in the park” and avoid fillers such as “umm” and “uh.” Your final clause is unfinished, so complete the idea rather than ending with “because it gave me.”

Example: Yes, I had a red bike when I was about ten. I used to ride it in the park and whenever I had the chance because cycling made me feel free and energetic.

Suggestion: Your answer responds to the question and gives a relevant reason. Make the opening more natural by saying “bikes are definitely popular,” and complete the sentence with a specific detail, such as who cycles or where people ride. You could also avoid using both “definitely” and “actually” together.

Example: Yes, bikes are definitely popular in my country. Many people ride them in parks and along dedicated cycling paths, especially on weekends, because there are plenty of green spaces.

× Then I continued cycling at park and, umm, wherever I could, uh, bring my bicycle to because it gave me.

✓ Then I continued cycling at the park and, umm, wherever I could, uh, bring my bicycle to because it gave me.

The singular countable noun park needs an article in this context. Use the park when referring to a particular park or parks in general as places for cycling.

× Then I continued cycling at park and, umm, wherever I could, uh, bring my bicycle to because it gave me.

✓ Then I continued cycling at park and, umm, wherever I could, uh, bring my bicycle because it gave me.

Wherever already expresses the destination, so the preposition to is unnecessary after bring my bicycle. Say wherever I could bring my bicycle.

× Then I continued cycling at park and, umm, wherever I could, uh, bring my bicycle to because it gave me.

✓ Then I continued cycling at the park and wherever I could bring my bicycle because I enjoyed it.

The clause because it gave me is incomplete because gave me requires an object, such as something it gave you. Complete the thought or rephrase it. For example, because I enjoyed it is a complete and clear explanation.
