Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly, then add one or two specific details. Replace the unnatural phrase “It's from a bicycle” with “It was a bicycle,” and use the past tense consistently because you are describing your childhood. You could also mention how often you used the bike or why the memory was special.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. It was a bicycle that my dad gave me for my eighth birthday, and I was really excited to ride it around my neighborhood. I used it almost every afternoon to visit my friends and explore the area.

Sugerencia: The answer has a clear opinion and relevant reasons, but correct several word-choice and pronunciation-related errors: say “bike-sharing schemes,” “cycle or ride to school or work,” and “public transport.” Avoid repeating the same idea and use a linking word such as “Moreover” or “As a result.” Give a specific example of where or why people cycle.

Ejemplo: Absolutely. Bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable, environmentally friendly, and convenient. In many cities, there are bike-sharing schemes, so students and office workers often cycle to school or work. Moreover, cycling can be faster than using public transport during rush hour.

× It's from a bicycle my dad gave me for my birthday when I was 8.

✓ It was a bicycle my dad gave me for my birthday when I was 8.

The question asks about a bicycle the student had during childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use was instead of is because the bicycle belonged to the student's past.

× Many people, especially students and office workers, just fight to get to school or work because cycling is often cheaper and faster than taking the public transport.

✓ Many people, especially students and office workers, just cycle to get to school or work because cycling is often cheaper and faster than taking public transport.

Public transport is an uncountable expression when referring to transportation in general, so it does not normally take the definite article the. The verb fight is not appropriate for the intended meaning; however, it has been changed to cycle to make the sentence express the intended idea clearly.
