Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Исправьте времена: вопрос относится к прошлому, поэтому используйте «had», а после «I» — «was»: «I had a bike when I was a child». Ответьте прямо и добавьте одну конкретную деталь, например, как часто вы катались или где.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighbourhood after school.

Suggestion: Сначала прямо ответьте на вопрос. Уточните, что вы имеете в виду под «gas bikes» — например, обычные велосипеды или электровелосипеды. Используйте естественное выражение «commute to work or school» и местоимение во множественном числе «them» для bikes. Уберите паузу «uh» и добавьте конкретную причину или пример.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller cities. Many people use them to commute to work or school because they are affordable and convenient.

× Yes, I have a bike when I were a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I were a child.

The question refers to the past, so use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have. Match the verb tense in your answer to the time reference in the question.

× Yes, I have a bike when I were a child.

✓ Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.

The subject I takes was, not were, in a standard past-tense statement. Check that the verb form agrees with its subject.

× I think gas bikes are popular in my country because more people use it for uh routes by work or school.

✓ I think gas bikes are popular in my country because more people use them for uh routes by work or school.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to the plural noun bikes. Use them to refer to plural nouns.

× I think gas bikes are popular in my country because more people use it for uh routes by work or school.

✓ I think gas bikes are popular in my country because more people use it for uh routes to work or school.

By is not the appropriate preposition in this phrase. Use to to show the destination: routes to work or school. A more natural expression is trips to work or school.
