Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and confident. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and repetition. For example, say when you bought the bike, why it was terrible, and the result of the accident. Keep it to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I didn’t have a bike as a young child. Later, in my teenage years I bought one, but it wasn’t a good experience because I crashed it on my first ride. As a result, I was injured and decided not to cycle for a long time.

Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion followed by specific reasons and a linking word. Use correct verb forms and avoid hesitations. Mention concrete evidence (e.g., bike lanes, bike-sharing schemes) and contrast past and present. Keep the answer within 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes have become more popular in my country in recent years because many cities introduced bike lanes and bike-sharing programs. Previously people avoided cycling due to safety concerns and poor infrastructure, but improved facilities have encouraged more commuters to ride.

× Uh, when I was a child, I never had a bike.

✓ Uh, when I was a child, I did not have a bike.

The original uses 'never had' which is acceptable conversationally but for clarity with auxiliary use in negative past tense, 'did not have' is more standard in formal grammar. Use 'did not' plus base verb for past simple negation. Suggestion: Say 'I did not have a bike' or 'I never had a bike' consistently; avoid mixing spoken fillers.

× Uh, but maybe in teenage age I, I, I like, decided to buy 1 and it was terrible.

✓ But maybe in my teenage years I decided to buy one, and it was terrible.

Problems: incorrect phrase 'teenage age' and numeral '1' used in text, overuse of filler 'I, I, I like,'. The correct noun phrase is 'my teenage years' and 'one' should be written as a word. Remove fillers and use simple past 'decided' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: Use 'in my teenage years' and write numbers as words in speech transcripts; eliminate filler words for clarity.

× I had an accident on it, so.

✓ I had an accident on it, so I stopped using it.

The original is a sentence fragment ending with 'so.' Complete the idea by adding the result. 'Had an accident' is past simple and correct, but the sentence needs a consequence clause to be grammatically complete. Suggestion: Finish the clause after 'so' to show the consequence.

× In the past few years, yes uh, bikes becomes uh, become popular in my country,

✓ In the past few years, yes, bikes have become popular in my country,

The speaker mixed forms 'becomes' and 'become.' The correct present perfect plural form for a change over recent time is 'have become.' Also, subject-verb agreement requires 'bikes have.' Use present perfect to link past change to present. Suggestion: Use 'have become' when talking about changes that started in the past and continue to the present.

× but before that uh time, no one uh, used used bikes uh, because of uh, the safety and the uh.

✓ but before that time, no one used bikes because of safety concerns.

Redundancy 'used used' should be single 'used.' 'That time' is better than 'that uh time.' The phrase 'the safety' is awkward; use 'safety concerns.' Remove trailing filler and incomplete clause. Suggestion: Say 'no one used bikes because of safety concerns' for concise, grammatical expression.
