Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, then add one specific detail about your childhood bike. Your second sentence shifts to the present and repeats “bike” and “still”; explain what the bike was like or how you used it as a child instead.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike when I was a child, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Give a clear overall answer and support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid repeating “generally” and “however,” remove the hesitation, and say “might not be popular” rather than “might be not popular.” Clarify how your town differs from other parts of the country.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially in places with dedicated cycle lanes. In my town, though, there aren’t many safe or convenient roads for cyclists, so fewer people ride bikes regularly.

× That's why they might be not popular in my town.

✓ That's why they might not be popular in my town.

In a negative sentence with a modal verb, place not immediately after the modal verb and before the main verb: might not be, rather than might be not.

× However, I think generally in the whole country, in some areas, uh, it they might be popular.

✓ However, I think they might be popular in some areas of the country.

The subject contains two pronouns, it and they, where only one is needed. Use they as the subject pronoun referring to bikes, and remove it. For a clearer sentence, place the phrase about the areas after the main clause.
