Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: use “I had” rather than “I have.” Correct the phrase to “when I was a child” and say “my father gave it to me.” Add one relevant detail, such as how you used the bike, to make your answer more specific.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave it to me for my birthday, and I used to ride it around our neighbourhood.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer and use words that accurately describe how popular bikes are. “Wirelessly flat” is unclear in this context, so replace it with a phrase such as “widely used” or “very popular.” Support your opinion with a specific reason or example, and avoid repeating the same idea with both “popular” and “commonly used.”

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re an affordable way to travel short distances, and many people use them to commute or run errands.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about a past period: when you were a child. Use the simple past 'had' rather than the present 'have' to match the question's tense.

× When I was child it was given by me from my father.

✓ When I was a child, my father gave it to me.

The singular countable noun 'child' needs the article 'a'. Say 'a child.' The correction also expresses the intended meaning clearly.

× When I was child it was given by me from my father.

✓ When I was a child, my father gave it to me.

The passive phrase 'it was given by me' says that you gave the bike, which reverses the intended meaning. Use the active construction 'my father gave it to me' to show who gave the bike.

× When I was child it was given by me from my father.

✓ When I was a child, my father gave it to me.

With the verb 'give,' the recipient is introduced with 'to': 'gave it to me.' In this context, 'from my father' is not the correct preposition phrase.

× Yeah, I think in our country bikes are wirelessly flat and commonly used.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are widely popular and commonly used in our country.

'Wirelessly' means without wires, and 'flat' does not express that bikes are popular. Use 'widely popular' to describe how common or popular bikes are. Place 'in our country' at the end for a natural sentence.
