Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood. The phrase “a lighting bike” is unclear, and “I do I enjoyed” contains a tense mismatch and repetition. Give a clear yes/no answer, then add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a bright red bike, and I enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and use the natural phrase “ride a bike” rather than “ride to a bicycle.” Avoid repeating “ride,” and explain how people use bikes, such as for commuting or exercise. Use a linking word to connect your supporting detail.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them to work or school because they’re convenient, especially in busy cities.

× Yes, I do I enjoyed a lighting bike.

✓ Yes, I did. I enjoyed riding a bike.

The question asks about a past experience, so use the past-tense form did rather than do. Keep the answer in the past to match the question.

× Yes, I do I enjoyed a lighting bike.

✓ Yes, I did. I enjoyed riding a bike.

Enjoy is followed by a gerund (a verb ending in -ing) when another action follows it. Say enjoyed riding a bike, not enjoyed a lighting bike.

× Yes, I think so many people ride ride to a bicycle or commute

✓ Yes, I think so. Many people ride bicycles or commute.

Ride a bicycle does not take the preposition to. Remove to and say ride bicycles. Also separate the two clauses with a period for clarity.

× Yes, I think so many people ride ride to a bicycle or commute

✓ Yes, I think so. Many people ride bicycles or commute.

When speaking generally about what many people ride, use the plural count noun bicycles. Avoid using the singular bicycle without an article.
