Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly instead of repeating it. Say whether you had a bike, then add one relevant detail, such as when you rode it or who taught you.

Example: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was about seven. My father taught me how to ride it, and I often cycled around our neighborhood.

Suggestion: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason, but “in it” does not agree with the plural “cities.” Say “in these cities” or “there,” and use a more natural phrase such as “heavy traffic.” You could also explain briefly how cycling helps people deal with traffic.

Example: Yes, bicycles are fairly popular in some Iranian cities, especially Tehran and Isfahan, where traffic can be very heavy. For short journeys, cycling can be a convenient way to avoid being stuck in traffic.

× From my perspective, bikes are popular in my country in some cities, mostly in big cities like Tehran and Isfahan, because there are lots of traffic jams in it.

✓ From my perspective, bikes are popular in some cities in my country, mostly in big cities like Tehran and Isfahan, because there are lots of traffic jams in those cities.

The pronoun it is unclear because it could refer to the country or to the cities. Use those cities to refer clearly to Tehran and Isfahan. This makes the relationship between the traffic jams and the cities clear.
