Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and focus on a clear topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words (e.g., “umm,” “uh”), and correct small grammar slips (e.g., “a little bit small” → “a bit small”; “despite it having a little bit bigger” → unclear).

Ejemplo: Yes — I had a BMX when I was a child. It was a bit smaller than a regular bike, which made it easier to do tricks, and I loved it because it was my first bike. As a result, I have many happy memories of practicing stunts in the park with friends.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give two distinct reasons linked with connectors (e.g., “because,” “and,” “also”). Correct grammar (e.g., “converting into bikes have became” → “switching to bikes became”). Remove repetition (don’t repeat the same phrase). Be specific about time or examples to strengthen the answer.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes have become more popular in my country, especially since the pandemic. Firstly, many people switched to cycling because gas prices rose sharply, making bikes a cheaper alternative; secondly, cycling also offers regular exercise, so more commuters chose bikes for health and cost reasons.

× it having a little bit bigger

✓ it being a little bit bigger

The original uses 'having' which is not correct with 'despite' in this context. After 'despite' a noun, pronoun, or gerund/present participle is expected; here the intended meaning is a state, so 'being' (present participle) is correct. Suggestion: use 'despite it being a little bit bigger' or rephrase as 'although it was a little bit bigger.'

× It was a model of a bike that is a little bit small.

✓ It was a model of bike that was a little small.

Mixed tense and awkward article use: the sentence starts in past ('It was') but then uses present 'is' and the phrase 'a little bit small' is wordy. Keep past tense consistent and simplify: use 'was a little small' or 'was a bit small.' Also 'a model of a bike' is redundant; 'a model of bike' or 'a bike model' is clearer.

× It is mainly used to do tricks by pro BMX riders.

✓ It was mainly used to do tricks by pro BMX riders.

The context is past (describing the student's childhood bike), so the verb should be past 'was' not present 'is.' Maintain consistent past tense when describing past objects or uses.

× during the pandemic on where gas prices have skyrocketed.

✓ during the pandemic when gas prices skyrocketed.

The phrase 'on where' is incorrect. Use 'when' to refer to the time period. Also 'have skyrocketed' can be simplified to past 'skyrocketed' to match 'during the pandemic' as a completed timeframe.

× converting into bikes have became a better solution than using motor vehicles

✓ converting to bikes became a better solution than using motor vehicles

Multiple issues: 'converting into' is awkward; 'convert to' or 'switch to' is preferred. 'have became' is ungrammatical: the present perfect uses 'have become' or past simple 'became.' Match tense with surrounding text: use past 'became.' Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'converting to bikes' as a gerund phrase takes singular verb, so 'became' fits.

× it provides exercise.

✓ they provide exercise.

The antecedent is 'bikes' (plural), so the pronoun should be plural 'they' rather than singular 'it.' Also maintain tense consistency: 'they provided exercise' if keeping past context, or 'they provide exercise' if general statement; here general fact is acceptable so 'they provide exercise' is appropriate.
