Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Errors in grammar and some unnatural phrasing reduce clarity. Improve by using correct tense and more concise, natural expressions. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so") to connect ideas and avoid redundancy ("together with all of my other companions and the same range of my age" is wordy).

Ejemplo: Yes. I had a bike when I was about seven or eight because my parents bought it for me. I used to ride around our neighborhood with friends after school, which helped me become more confident and independent.

Sugerencia: The answer is relevant but contains repetition and awkward phrasing. Make a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason and an example. Remove repeated words and use linking words (e.g., "because", "therefore", "for example"). Try to vary vocabulary ("afford" and "accessible" are fine) and keep the reply concise (no more than 4–5 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and easy to maintain. For example, many students and young workers prefer cycling to commute short distances, so traffic is often lighter in residential areas.

× As far as I remember, I do had a bike back when I was 7 or 8 years old.

✓ As far as I remember, I had a bike back when I was 7 or 8 years old.

The sentence incorrectly mixes present auxiliary 'do' with past main verb 'had'. For simple past statements, do is not used as an auxiliary. Use the past simple 'had' alone. Suggestion: say 'I had' to match the past time reference.'

× My parents bought me one so that I may be able to enjoy roaming around the neighborhood together with all of my other companions and the same range of my age.

✓ My parents bought me one so that I could enjoy roaming around the neighborhood with my friends of the same age.

The phrase 'may be able to' is awkward and does not match the past context; use the past modal 'could'. 'Companions' and 'the same range of my age' are unnatural; use 'friends of the same age'. Also streamline 'together with' to 'with'. Suggestion: use 'could' for past ability and simpler nouns/phrasing.'

× Yes, I do think that bikes are popular in my country, especially people my age, the younger ones who are not yet able to afford motorcycles or cars as a means of transportation.

✓ Yes, I do think that bikes are popular in my country, especially among people my age — the younger ones who are not yet able to afford motorcycles or cars as a means of transportation.

The original sentence is missing a preposition to link 'especially' with the group being referred to. Add 'among' to indicate the group. Adding a dash or comma clarifies the parenthetical phrase. Suggestion: use 'especially among people my age' to make the sentence grammatically complete.'

× Since it is it is cheaper and more accessible.

✓ Since they are cheaper and more accessible.

The clause repeats 'it is' twice and uses singular 'it' to refer to 'bikes' (plural). Use plural pronoun 'they' and remove the repetition. Suggestion: say 'Since they are cheaper and more accessible.'
