Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past simple because the question asks about your childhood: say “No, I didn’t” rather than “No, I haven’t.” Add one specific detail, such as whether you wanted a bike or how you usually travelled.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school, although I sometimes wished I had one to ride around the neighbourhood.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, but it mainly repeats the question. Add a specific reason or example, such as who uses bikes and where they ride. Use a linking word like “because” or “for example” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They’re a convenient and affordable way to get around, and many people ride them to work or school.

× No, I haven't.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asks about a completed period in the past: when you were a child. Use the simple past auxiliary did in the answer to match the question's tense. Use No, I didn't to mean that you did not have a bike.
