Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and use correct tense and grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. I did have a bike as a child), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix verb forms (borrowed vs lent; allow vs allowed) and avoid unnecessary repetition. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences).

Ejemplo: I did have a bike when I was a child. I often lent it to my cousins, who enjoyed riding it around our neighbourhood, and I liked cycling to look at the views in our town. Those rides were a fun way to explore and spend time outdoors.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then give one or two concise, specific reasons. Use linking words (because, for example, therefore) and choose precise vocabulary (useful, practical, convenient) instead of vague phrases like “tool or a machine.” Correct grammar (people use them; make errands easier). Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an inexpensive and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many people use bicycles to run daily errands such as going to the market, which saves time and money compared with using a car.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'). The student used present tense 'have' instead of past tense 'had'. Use past simple to match the time frame: 'had'. Suggestion: Match verb tense to the time expression (when you were a child -> past simple).

× Back when I was a child I borrowed my bike to my cousins and they allow it and I enjoy seeing the views in our town.

✓ Back when I was a child I lent my bike to my cousins, they allowed it, and I enjoyed seeing the views in our town.

Multiple issues: 'borrowed my bike to my cousins' is incorrect because 'borrow' means to take something temporarily; the correct verb for giving temporarily is 'lend' (lend X to someone). The time frame is past, so verbs should be past simple: 'lent', 'allowed', 'enjoyed'. Using present forms ('allow', 'enjoy') conflicts with the past context. Also comma and clause linking improved for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'lend' when you give something temporarily and keep verbs in past simple for past contexts.

× Yes, I think our bike is popular in my country because most of the people use it and it's also a tool or a machine that can help on your daily errands to make it more productive and more easy, like for example, going to the market.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because most people use them, and they are also tools that can help with daily errands, making them easier and more efficient, for example going to the market.

Several tense and agreement issues: the student used 'our bike' incorrectly—general statement requires plural 'bikes' and plural pronoun/agreement ('them'). 'Most of the people' is awkward; 'most people' is natural. 'A tool or a machine' is wordy; 'tools' fits plural. 'Help on your daily errands' should be 'help with daily errands'. The verbs describing general truth should be present simple; wording corrected to present simple and proper noun/pronoun agreement. Also changed 'more productive and more easy' to 'easier and more efficient' for idiomatic clarity. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general statements (bikes/them), use 'help with' for errands, and prefer idiomatic collocations like 'easier' and 'more efficient'.
