Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and direct. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and incorrect phrases (e.g. “child support area”). Use linking words like “because” or “so” to connect ideas. Aim for 2–3 sentences and correct grammar (e.g. past tense consistency).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My town had many safe parks and bike paths, so my parents encouraged me to ride regularly.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and organize reasons succinctly. Begin with a clear statement (Yes/No) then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (e.g. “because”, “however”). Avoid vague phrases like “anywhere I saw” and reduce hesitations. Provide a brief example or contrast to strengthen the point.

Ejemplo: No, bicycles are not very popular in my country because heavy traffic and poor cycling infrastructure make riding unsafe. However, in wealthier neighborhoods where there are dedicated paths, people do cycle more for leisure.

× I was born and raised in the same town and my town is a very child support area.

✓ I was born and raised in the same town, and my town is very supportive of children.

The phrase 'child support area' is incorrect because 'child support' is a legal/financial term; here an adjective describing the town's attitude toward children is needed. Use the adjective 'supportive' and a clear noun 'children' to convey the meaning. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction for clarity.

× It does provide a lot of places for us to use bicycles.

✓ It provides a lot of places for us to ride bicycles.

The original sentence uses the auxiliary 'does' unnecessarily in a simple present statement, making the structure awkward. Replace with the simple present 'provides'. Also use the verb 'ride' which collocates naturally with 'bicycles' rather than 'use'.

× So I my parents, my parents were supportive of that and they were.

✓ So my parents were supportive of that.

The sentence is repetitive and contains a fragment ('So I my parents'). Remove the duplication and the unnecessary trailing clause 'and they were' to form a concise complete sentence.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country? Student: Unfortunately, no, because, uh, we live in a very busy country where there is a lot of traffic, so they don't support the idea of using bicycles and it's not common in our neighborhood or in anywhere I saw.

✓ Unfortunately not, because we live in a very busy country with a lot of traffic, so people don't support the idea of using bicycles, and it isn't common in our neighborhood or anywhere I've seen.

Multiple issues: use 'people' rather than the vague pronoun 'they' for clarity. Change 'it's not common' to 'it isn't common' to match tone and combine clauses more smoothly. Replace 'in anywhere I saw' with 'anywhere I've seen' which uses the present perfect to refer to experience up to now. Ensure subject-verb agreement and natural pronoun use.

× But there is some rich neighborhoods where, uh, where they can bicycle to everywhere.

✓ But there are some rich neighborhoods where people can cycle everywhere.

Use 'are' for the plural noun 'neighborhoods' (subject-verb agreement) and avoid the redundant 'where' twice. Replace 'bicycle to everywhere' with the more natural verb 'cycle' and adverb 'everywhere'. Also use 'people' rather than 'they' for clarity.
