Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly and use one or two clear supporting details. Avoid repeating “used to,” and correct the grammar in “which I used to go,” “opens you to the nature,” and “let you encourage.” Use natural phrases such as “ride it to school and the market,” “enjoy nature,” and “made me feel independent.” Also, finish with a complete sentence instead of ending with “encourage.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a small bicycle when I was a child. I used to ride it to school and the market, so it was very convenient. I also enjoyed cycling because it allowed me to spend time outdoors and made me feel more independent.

Sugerencia: State your opinion clearly, then give two specific reasons. Avoid unnatural or inaccurate expressions such as “mostly popular,” “comparatively bit cheaper,” “four wheelers,” and “it’s a developing countries.” Use “more affordable than cars,” “many people,” and “an enjoyable form of transport.” Reduce repetition of “everyone” and “so,” and explain how bikes are useful in daily life rather than simply calling them adventurous.

Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people in smaller towns. They are much more affordable than cars and are cheaper to maintain. In addition, cycling is a convenient and enjoyable way to travel short distances, particularly when traffic is heavy.

The verb go cannot be used directly with which to describe using a bicycle. The correct structure is ride a bicycle to a place. Use ride to school and the market to express the intended meaning clearly.

When referring to school as a regular activity, English normally uses school without the article: go to school. Market usually needs the definite article when referring to a particular local market: the market.

× So it was really fun during my childhood to ride a bike as it opens you to the nature and let you encourage

✓ So it was really fun during my childhood to ride a bike because it opened me up to nature and encouraged me.

The question asks about a childhood experience, so the verbs should remain in the past tense. Change opens to opened and express the final idea with encouraged me. The phrase open someone up to something means to introduce someone to or make someone aware of something.

✓ So it was really fun during my childhood to ride a bike because it opened me up to nature and encouraged me.

Nature is generally used as an uncountable noun without the definite article when speaking about the natural world in general. Therefore, say nature rather than the nature.

× Yes, bikes are mostly popular in my country because it is a comparatively bit cheaper than other four wheelers.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are comparatively cheaper than other four-wheelers.

The subject bikes is plural, so it must be referred to with the plural pronoun they, not the singular pronoun it. Make sure the pronoun agrees in number with the noun it replaces.

× Yes, bikes are mostly popular in my country because it is a comparatively bit cheaper than other four wheelers.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are comparatively cheaper than other four-wheelers.

Comparatively bit cheaper is not a natural combination. Use comparatively cheaper or a bit cheaper. Also, quite popular is a more natural way to describe something that is popular to a considerable degree.

× So everyone since it's a developing countries everyone loves to ride and it's adventure as well at the same time.

✓ Since it is a developing country, everyone loves to ride bikes, and it is an adventure as well.

Adventure is a singular countable noun in the phrase it is an adventure, so it needs the indefinite article an. Use an before a word beginning with a vowel sound.

✓ Since it is a developing country, everyone loves to ride bikes, and it is an adventure as well.

The original sentence repeats everyone and places the since-clause in the middle of the sentence, which makes the structure difficult to follow. Put the since-clause at the beginning, remove the repeated subject, and connect the ideas with and.
