Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitation and grammar mistakes, use a clear topic sentence, and add one or two specific details with linking words. Focus on correct verb tenses (use past simple) and avoid filler sounds like “umm.” Keep answers natural and concise (max 5 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes — I had a bike as a child. I started riding when I was about four or five, and at first it had stabilizers (training wheels). After practicing for a couple of years, my parents removed the training wheels, and I learned to ride on my own. I remember feeling very proud the first time I rode without support.

Sugerencia: Use correct grammar (subject + verb agreement and tense) and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add specific reasons and an example. Use linking words like “because” or “for example” to make your answer coherent. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. I grew up in Shanghai, where many people commute by bicycle or electric scooter because it is quick and affordable. For example, there are dedicated bike lanes and plenty of shared bike services that make cycling convenient for short trips.

× I start biking when I was around four or five years old.

✓ I started biking when I was around four or five years old.

The sentence mixes present tense 'start' with a past time reference 'when I was.' Use the past simple 'started' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: change 'start' to 'started'.

× the bike used to have four wheels for me.

✓ The bike used to have four wheels for me.

This is mainly a capitalization issue rather than article use; however, context suggests use of 'the' is acceptable. Capitalize the sentence start. If intended generally, you could say 'My bike used to have training wheels.' Suggestion: start with a capital letter and consider using a clearer noun phrase like 'training wheels.'

× And then after two years riding a few times, umm, the two supporting wears were taken out by my parents and I truly started to learning how to bike.

✓ And then after riding a few times over two years, the two supporting wheels were taken off by my parents and I truly started to learn how to bike.

Multiple errors: 'after two years riding a few times' is awkward—rephrase to 'after riding a few times over two years.' 'Supporting wears' is incorrect; use 'supporting wheels' or 'training wheels.' 'Were taken out' is acceptable but 'taken off' is more natural for wheels. 'Started to learning' mixes 'started to' with gerund; use 'started to learn' or 'started learning.' Suggestion: use 'started to learn' or 'started learning' and correct 'wheels' and 'taken off.'

× Umm, I growing up in Shanghai, China and umm, biking bikes and, uh, motorcycles are the most common way that people travel to work.

✓ I grew up in Shanghai, China, and biking and motorcycles are the most common ways that people travel to work.

'I growing up' is incorrect present participle; use past simple 'I grew up' for a completed action. 'Biking bikes' is redundant—'biking' suffices. 'Are the most common way' has a subject-verb and noun number mismatch: plural subjects 'biking and motorcycles' require plural noun 'ways.' Suggestion: use 'I grew up' and adjust subject and noun agreement to 'are the most common ways.'

× Umm, it's super convenient and the street infrastructure supports it very well.

✓ It's super convenient and the street infrastructure supports them very well.

Pronoun reference: 'it' is unclear because the previous subjects are plural ('biking and motorcycles'). Replace 'it' with 'them' to match plural antecedent. Also ensure consistency with prior plural noun 'ways' or 'modes.' Suggestion: use 'them' when referring to multiple modes of transport.
