Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details. Use correct verb forms and logical order (age and grade). Avoid redundancy. Add linking words like “when” or “so” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My parents bought me a bicycle when I was about 11, which I started riding to school in third grade. It was a simple mountain bike and I used it every day, so I became quite confident riding around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then give one or two specific reasons or examples using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and incorrect modal/tense use. Replace vague statements like “everyone have to buy” with clear reasons (transport cost, convenience) and provide a concrete example from your experience.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country, especially in rural areas, because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, when I was in high school many of my classmates rode bikes to school every day to save money and avoid crowded buses.

× Yes, I had to buy when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had one when I was a child.

The student used 'had to buy' which means 'was required to purchase' and is inappropriate for saying they owned a bike. The correct simple past 'had' (possession) or 'had one' is appropriate. Suggestion: use 'had' for past possession and avoid inserting 'to buy' unless you mean necessity ('I had to buy a bike').

× My parent bought it for me when I was about 11 years old and I brought it to school when I was grad 3.

✓ My parents bought it for me when I was about 11 years old and I brought it to school when I was in grade 3.

'Parent' should be plural 'parents' if referring to both; if only one, use 'my parent bought it'. Also 'grad 3' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'grade 3' and needs the preposition 'in' for school years. Suggestion: use 'parents' for both parents, and 'in grade 3' for grade level.

× Yes I do. What's it called? It's very popular in my country, especially in the countryside.

✓ Yes, I do. What is it called? It is very popular in my country, especially in the countryside.

Contractions are acceptable but maintain clarity: 'What's it called?' is informal and ambiguous here; 'What is it called?' is clearer. Also ensure punctuation and spacing. No major grammar type from list beyond pronoun clarity; improved phrasing keeps meaning and tense consistent.

× Everyone have to buy.

✓ Everyone has to buy one.

'Everyone' is singular and takes the singular verb 'has', not 'have'. Also specify the object ('one' or 'a bike') for clarity. Suggestion: use 'Everyone has to buy a bike' or 'Everyone has to buy one'.

× When I was in high school I also have to buy and had to buy everyone most of my friend.

✓ When I was in high school I also had to buy one, and most of my friends had to buy one too.

Mixes present 'have to' with past context 'when I was' — use past 'had to'. 'Everyone most of my friend' is ungrammatical; should be 'most of my friends' or 'everyone'. Also clarify object 'one' or 'a bike'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent (past) and use correct plural 'friends'.
