Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repeating ideas and fix grammatical errors (e.g., "my family couldn't afford," use past tense consistently). Keep your answer under 5 sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I didn't have my own bike as a child because my family couldn't afford one. Instead, I often borrowed a bicycle from our neighbour and rode it around the park. Because I loved cycling, I practised regularly and learned to ride confidently by age ten.

Sugerencia: Make your answer more structured and avoid repetition. Begin with a clear opinion sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because," "also"). Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "fuel prices" rather than repeating "price of oil") and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are becoming increasingly popular in my country because fuel prices have risen and many people want cheaper transport. Additionally, more people are choosing cycling to stay fit and reduce pollution, so you can see more bike lanes and cyclists in cities.

× Well, when I was a child, I didn't own a bike because we had that many family couldn't afford to buy a bicycle.

✓ Well, when I was a child, I didn't own a bike because our family couldn't afford to buy a bicycle.

The original sentence has a broken structure: 'we had that many family' is ungrammatical and confuses subject. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Correct by using 'our family couldn't afford' which clearly links the family as possessive and uses the modal 'couldn't' to indicate past inability. Suggestion: use clear subject + verb phrases and avoid inserting unrelated words.

× So what I would do when I was a child, we would play with our neighbor and our neighbor had a bike.

✓ So, when I was a child, we would play with our neighbor, and our neighbor had a bike.

The original lacks proper clause connection and punctuation, creating a run-on feeling and unclear subject reference: this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Move the time clause to the start and connect clauses with 'and' plus commas to clarify meaning. Suggestion: keep consistent subjects and use commas to separate introductory phrases.

× So we had to borrow the bike and play around with it and then return it to my neighbor and.

✓ So we had to borrow the bike, play around with it, and then return it to my neighbor.

The original ends with an extra conjunction 'and' and has awkward coordination—this is a sentence structure error (ID 26). Remove the trailing 'and' and use commas to list actions. Suggestion: avoid dangling conjunctions and ensure lists are properly punctuated.

× I would say that bikes are popular in our country 'cause everyone, especially right now, there are many people who would rather use the bike to go to different places.

✓ I would say that bikes are popular in our country because many people, especially now, would rather use bikes to get to different places.

The original mixes structures and repeats subjects ('everyone' and 'there are many people'), causing redundancy and awkward phrasing; this is best treated as incorrect use of verbing/structure (ID 10). Also 'cause' should be 'because' in formal speech, and 'the bike' is incorrectly specific—use plural 'bikes'. Suggestion: streamline the sentence by removing duplications and matching plural nouns with plural verbs.

× Especially now that the prices of oil is increasing.

✓ Especially now that the price of oil is increasing.

This is a subject-verb agreement error (ID 27). 'Prices' (plural) requires 'are', while the sentence uses 'is'. In this context, 'price of oil' (singular) is more natural with 'is increasing'. Suggestion: choose singular or plural noun consistently with the verb: 'the prices are increasing' or 'the price is increasing'.

× The price of oil is increasing.

✓ The price of oil is increasing.

This standalone sentence is grammatical, but in context it is repetitive immediately after a similar clause. Identifying repetition is a discourse-level sentence structure issue (ID 26). Suggestion: avoid unnecessary repetition; combine with the previous sentence for clarity (e.g., '...because the price of oil is increasing').

× So everyone's been trying to also be more active, be more health conscious, so everyone's riding a bike.

✓ So everyone has been trying to be more active and more health-conscious, so many people are riding bikes.

Original uses awkward adverb placement and repetitive 'everyone's' and mixes contractions; this is an incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs (ID 13) and sentence structure. 'Health conscious' should be hyphenated as 'health-conscious' when used as a compound adjective before a noun or complement. Also plural agreement: 'many people are riding bikes' is clearer than repeating 'everyone's'. Suggestion: place adverbs correctly ('trying to be more active'), hyphenate compound adjectives, and avoid repeating the same subject and contraction.
