Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then add one specific detail about the bike or how you used it. Correct the age expression: say “when I was 10,” not “when I was at 10.” Avoid the filler “umm” if possible.

Example: Yes, I did. My mother bought me a bike when I was 10, and I used to ride it around our neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer and support it with a complete, specific example. Remove repeated words and fillers, use the plural “bicycles,” and say “ride bicycles” rather than “ride bicycle.” Finish the final sentence and use a linking phrase such as “For example” or “Also.”

Example: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. Both children and adults ride them for exercise and to get around. For example, in the evenings, children often cycle in parks, while some adults use bikes to commute to work.

× Yes, umm, my mother bought me a bike when I was at 10.

✓ Yes, umm, my mother bought me a bike when I was 10.

Do not use the preposition at before an age. Say was 10 to state how old you were.

× Yes, um, bikes are very popular in in our country.

✓ Yes, um, bikes are very popular in our country.

The preposition in is repeated. Use it only once before our country.

× Kids and adults, uh, like to um ride bicycle for exercising and commuting.

✓ Kids and adults, uh, like to um ride bicycles for exercising and commuting.

Bicycle is a countable noun used generally here, so use its plural form, bicycles, without an article.
