Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly and use the correct article in “a bike.” Avoid the redundant combination “so” and “that’s why”; use one linking expression instead. “In my childhood” is understandable, but “when I was a child” sounds more natural. You could also explain specifically why you feel jealous, such as seeing friends enjoy cycling.

Ejemplo: No, unfortunately, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, so I never learned how to ride one. As a result, I sometimes feel a little jealous when I see people cycling confidently. I wish I had learned when I was younger.

Sugerencia: Give a clearer direct answer and use the natural collocation “very popular” instead of “have a great popularity.” The phrase “you can meet them” is unnatural for bikes; say “you can see bikes” or “you can find people riding bikes.” Use a comparative structure such as “not as often as scooters,” and add a specific reason for the difference, such as convenience or traffic conditions.

Ejemplo: I wouldn’t say that bikes are very popular in my country. You can see some people riding them, but not as often as scooters. Scooters are more common because they are faster and more convenient for travelling through busy city streets.

× No, unfortunately I didn't have bike in my childhood so that's why I can't ride a bike nowadays and it makes me a bit jealous of others.

✓ No, unfortunately, I didn't have a bike in my childhood, so I can't ride a bike nowadays, and it makes me a bit jealous of others.

The singular countable noun bike needs the indefinite article a when it is mentioned for the first time. Say have a bike, not have bike.

× No, unfortunately I didn't have bike in my childhood so that's why I can't ride a bike nowadays and it makes me a bit jealous of others.

✓ No, unfortunately, I didn't have a bike in my childhood, so I can't ride a bike nowadays, and it makes me a bit jealous of others.

So and that is why express the same cause-and-effect relationship. Using both together is redundant. Use either so I can't ride a bike or that is why I can't ride a bike.

× Well I wouldn't say they have a great popularity in my country. Also you can meet them on the streets but not that much as scooters.

✓ Well, I wouldn't say bikes are very popular in my country. Also, you can see them on the streets, but not as often as scooters.

The comparative structure not that much as is incorrect here. To compare frequency, use not as often as. The structure is not as often as scooters.
