Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is direct and grammatically correct, but it is very brief. Add one relevant detail, such as why you did not have a bike or how you usually got around as a child.

Example: No, I didn’t. I usually walked to nearby places, and my family didn’t think I needed a bike.

Suggestion: You answer the question and give relevant reasons, but “experience” is unclear in this context—“exercise” may be the word you intended. Use “short-distance travel,” and split the final part into a separate sentence to avoid a comma splice. You could also give a specific example of who uses bicycles.

Example: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in Bangladesh, especially in smaller towns. People use them for short-distance trips because they’re affordable and environmentally friendly. Some also ride them for exercise.

× Many people use bicycles for transportation, experience and short distance travel, they are available and environmentally friendly.

✓ Many people use bicycles for transportation, experience, and short-distance travel. They are available and environmentally friendly.

The original sentence joins two independent clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Separate them with a period, or join them with a coordinating conjunction. A hyphen is also used in short-distance because the words work together as a compound adjective modifying travel.
