Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and gives a clear reason, but the sentence is too long and contains awkward expressions. Say “to the park” instead of “to park,” and use “when I was with my friends” instead of “when with my friends.” Divide the answer into two sentences and use a linking word such as “instead” or “so” to make it more natural.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought a scooter would be safer, so they bought me one instead. I used to ride it to the park and meet my friends there at weekends.

Sugerencia: You answer the question directly, but “people consider as” is grammatically incorrect; say “people consider them” or “people see them as.” Also, “go travelling” is not the most suitable expression here because you are discussing everyday transport. Explain specifically that bikes are convenient, affordable, or useful for commuting, and use a linking word to connect your reason.

Ejemplo: Yes, definitely. Bikes are quite popular in my country because people see them as a convenient and affordable way to get around. Many people use them to commute to work or school, especially in areas with heavy traffic.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it was safer to buy a scooter instead and I used to ride the scooter to park when with my friends every weekend.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it was safer to buy a scooter instead, and I used to ride the scooter to the park when I was with my friends every weekend.

The preposition to is followed by the specific destination the park. Also, when with my friends is incomplete because it lacks a subject and verb. Use when I was with my friends.

× I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it was safer to buy a scooter instead and I used to ride the scooter to park when with my friends every weekend.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it was safer to buy a scooter instead, and I used to ride the scooter to the park when I was with my friends every weekend.

The phrase when with my friends is not a complete clause. It needs the subject I and the verb was: when I was with my friends. Including the subject and verb makes the sentence grammatically complete.

× Yes, definitely bikes are quite common in my country because people consider as an easy way to go travelling.

✓ Yes, definitely, bikes are quite common in my country because people consider them an easy way to travel.

The verb consider requires an object when referring to bikes. Use the object pronoun them after consider. The structure is consider them an easy way, not consider as an easy way.
