Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear, direct, and grammatically accurate. However, “riding on it” is less natural than “riding it.” To develop the answer slightly, add one specific detail, such as where you rode your bike or what you enjoyed about it. Avoid giving only a general statement when a brief supporting detail can make your answer more engaging.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I really enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood. I often rode it to the park with my friends after school, so I have very fond memories of cycling.

Sugerencia: You answer the question directly, but the response contains several fillers and unclear phrases, such as “the, uh,” “do a mark,” and “ride bike cycling activities.” Avoid repeating “I really think” and use a clearer structure: give your opinion, explain the change since the pandemic, and provide your personal example. Say “cycling activities” or simply “go cycling,” and use “for a few miles” without “like.”

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially since the pandemic. Many people bought them to exercise outdoors and avoid crowded public transport. I also started cycling at that time, and I used to ride for a few miles around my neighborhood.

× I really think that it is popular in our country, especially since the pandemic, the, uh, people really buy bikes just to do a mark, umm, ride bike cycling activities and such.

✓ I really think that bikes are popular in our country, especially since the pandemic.

The noun bikes is plural, so the singular pronoun it cannot refer to it correctly. Use the plural noun bikes or the plural pronoun they. Also, removing the spoken hesitation makes the sentence clearer.

× I really think that it is popular in our country, especially since the pandemic, the, uh, people really buy bikes just to do a mark, umm, ride bike cycling activities and such.

✓ Since the pandemic, people have really bought bikes to ride them and take part in cycling activities.

When speaking about bikes in general, use the plural form bikes rather than the singular count noun bike. The phrase ride bike is therefore changed to ride them, which refers clearly to bikes. The phrase take part in cycling activities is also a grammatical way to express participation in these activities.

× I really think that it is popular in our country, especially since the pandemic, the, uh, people really buy bikes just to do a mark, umm, ride bike cycling activities and such.

✓ I really think that bikes are popular in our country. Since the pandemic, people have really bought bikes to ride them and take part in cycling activities.

The original sentence combines several ideas with pauses, fillers, and an unclear phrase, which makes the sentence structure difficult to follow. Divide the ideas into two complete sentences and use clear verb phrases such as have bought, ride them, and take part in.
