Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and add a relevant personal detail, as you already do. To sound more natural, keep the verb tense consistent by changing “I love” to “I loved,” and remove “MMM,” which is an unnecessary filler.

Example: Yes, I had a bicycle that my father bought me when I was 11. I spent hours riding it around my neighborhood because I loved the sense of freedom. A few years later, my younger siblings used it as their first bike.

Suggestion: Answer the question more precisely by distinguishing between bicycles and motorbikes, since “bikes” can refer to both. Write “two-wheelers” in lowercase, and make the comparison clearer by specifying what “it” refers to. You could also add a brief example of where people use them.

Example: Yes, two-wheelers are very popular in my country, especially motorbikes and scooters. Many people choose them over bicycles because they are more practical in heavy traffic and on hilly roads. For example, commuters often use scooters to get to work.

× I spent hours practising on it around my neighborhood because I love the freedom it gave me, and years later it was passed down to my younger siblings as their first bike.

✓ I spent hours practising on it around my neighborhood because I loved the freedom it gave me, and years later it was passed down to my younger siblings as their first bike.
