Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is incorrect and contains grammatical errors and irrelevant vocabulary. First, it does not address the question about a bike: you said “bag” instead of “bike.” Use past tense for childhood (e.g., “I didn’t have…” or “I never had…”). Give a short topic sentence and one or two supporting details (max 5 sentences). Use linking words if adding details (for example: “because,” “so,” “however”).

Ejemplo: I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I remember my parents couldn’t afford one, so I usually walked to school. However, I sometimes borrowed a friend’s bike to ride in the park.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question but is brief and contains a small grammar/integration issue. Use more precise phrasing and provide a specific reason or example. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a supporting detail using linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “however”). Avoid irrelevant personal detail unless it directly supports your main point.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in my city there are dedicated bike lanes and rental schemes, although I personally don’t own one due to cost.

× No, I never have a bag.

✓ No, I never had a bike.

The examiner asked about having a bike when you were a child, which requires past tense. The original sentence uses the present tense 'have' and incorrectly mentions 'bag' instead of 'bike' (wrong noun). Use the past simple 'had' to match the time reference and correct the noun to 'bike'. Suggestion: use 'I had' for past possession and ensure you refer to the same object mentioned in the question.'

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country, but for me I cannot afford it.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country, but I cannot afford one.

The clause 'for me I cannot afford it' is awkward and uses a pronoun 'it' that does not agree clearly with the plural 'bikes'. Use the modal verb 'cannot' correctly but pair it with an appropriate object: 'one' (singular) or 'them' (plural). Also omit the unnecessary phrase 'for me' at the start of the clause; the simple 'but I cannot afford one' is natural. Suggestion: say 'but I cannot afford one' to express you cannot buy a bike.'
