Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Сначала ответьте прямо, затем кратко объясните причину. Уберите заполнители пауз («uh») и повторения, а также исправьте неестественную конструкцию «I prefer to walk walking»: скажите «I preferred walking» или «I preferred to walk». Для более связного ответа используйте связку «because».

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because I wasn’t very interested in cycling. I preferred walking, especially when I only had to go a short distance.

Suggestion: Исправьте вводную фразу на «Generally speaking» и избегайте повторов и пауз. Ответьте на вопрос яснее: укажите, популярны ли велосипеды, и добавьте конкретную причину или пример. Используйте корректное выражение «choose cars over bikes»; не утверждайте, что велосипеды совсем не популярны, если вы имеете в виду лишь то, что машины распространены больше.

Example: Generally speaking, bikes aren’t as popular as cars in my country. Many people choose to drive because it’s more convenient for commuting, especially in areas with long distances between places.

× To be honest, uh, when I was a child, I didn't have a bike simply because I wasn't interested in cycling and I just, I prefer to walk walking rather than cycling.

✓ To be honest, when I was a child, I didn't have a bike simply because I wasn't interested in cycling, and I preferred walking to cycling.

The original sentence mixes the forms to walk, walking, and cycling in the comparison. Use parallel forms: walking to cycling. Also, because the answer describes a past preference, use preferred rather than prefer.

× General speaking, my country isn't famous for riding a bike because people people there uh choose a car uh over a bike.

✓ Generally speaking, my country isn't famous for people riding bikes because people there choose cars over bikes.

Generally is the adverbial form needed to modify speaking. General is an adjective and does not fit here.
