Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of asking a different question. Begin with a clear answer about whether you had a bike, and then add one or two specific details, such as when you rode it, who gave it to you, or where you used it.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought me a small blue one when I was about seven. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends after school.

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly, but use the plural form “bikes” and the article “Bikes are popular.” Add a reason and a specific example to make the response more developed and natural. Use a linking word such as “because” or “for example.”

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys. For example, many people ride them to work or school, especially in crowded cities.

The question refers to bikes in general, so the plural noun bikes is needed instead of the singular noun bike. The plural subject bikes also takes the plural verb are. Use a plural countable noun when making a general statement about an entire category.
