Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it could be improved by adding a concise topic sentence followed by a specific supporting detail and a linking word to connect ideas. Avoid short, disjointed sentences and provide one reason or brief example to enrich the response. Keep it natural and no more than five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes — I had a bike when I was a child, and I rode it almost every day to visit friends. However, I still own that bike now, although I rarely ride it because I moved to a neighbourhood where I usually go by car. For example, when I was around ten I would cycle to school and the park, which helped me become more confident on the road.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question but begins awkwardly and is somewhat general. Start with a direct topic sentence, remove filler words like 'And', and add a specific detail or brief statistic to support your claim using a linking word. This will make your response more natural and informative.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in the Netherlands, where cycling is a major mode of transport. For instance, many cities have dedicated cycle lanes and people of all ages commute by bike every day, so cycling culture is an important part of daily life.

× And the Netherlands bikes are extremely popular.

✓ In the Netherlands, bikes are extremely popular.

The sentence begins with 'And' unnecessarily and uses incorrect word order for a location phrase. This is a sentence structure/conjunction issue: start with the prepositional phrase 'In the Netherlands' followed by the subject 'bikes'. Also remove 'the' before 'Netherlands' when using it with a preposition 'in'. Suggestion: Begin sentences without an unnecessary conjunction and place the location prepositional phrase before the subject for natural English.

× Everybody owns one and they ride it on a daily basis.

✓ Everybody owns one and rides it on a daily basis.

'Everybody' is grammatically singular and requires a singular verb ('owns' and 'rides'). Using 'they ride' creates a mismatch between the singular subject and a plural verb and pronoun. Either change the subject to a plural form (e.g., 'People') or make the verbs singular and use a singular pronoun (or repeat the verb without a pronoun). Suggested corrections: 'Everybody owns one and rides it on a daily basis.' or 'People own bikes and ride them on a daily basis.'
