Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You answer the question directly and give a relevant reason, but the response ends mid-sentence, which makes your final point unclear. Finish your thought and use a natural phrase such as “I walked a lot” rather than “learned to walk and…” if you mean that you usually travelled on foot. Add one specific detail, and avoid leaving an unfinished sentence.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. In Bangladesh, it was uncommon for girls to ride bicycles because of social expectations, and my parents didn’t allow me to have one. As a result, I usually walked to nearby places or went with a family member.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer first, then explain the connection between traffic and cycling. Reduce fillers such as “uh” and “you know,” use “a lot of traffic” or “heavy traffic” instead of “too much traffic jam,” and say “use bicycles to get around faster” rather than “use bicycle to faster moves.” A specific example would make your answer more convincing.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in some parts of Bangladesh. Traffic is often very heavy, especially in busy areas, so cycling can be a convenient way to travel short distances. For example, people may use bicycles to get to nearby shops or avoid getting stuck in traffic.

× In Bangladesh actually there is too much traffic jam, so people like bicycle or use bicycle to faster moves.

✓ In Bangladesh, there are too many traffic jams, so people like bicycles or use bicycles to move faster.

When referring to traffic jams and bicycles in general, use plural forms. Use too many with the countable plural noun traffic jams. Also, after to, use the base form of the verb: move, not moves.

The infinitive marker to must be followed by the base form of a verb. The correct phrase is to move faster, not to faster moves. Place faster after the verb it modifies.
