Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly using the past tense. The phrase “I don't have to buy” is unclear; say “I didn't have a bike” or explain whether you borrowed one. Also, use “ride a bike” rather than “ride my cycle,” and avoid hesitation fillers such as “uh.” Add one specific supporting detail to make the answer more complete.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. However, I often borrowed my friends’ bikes and rode them around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Start with a complete topic sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Use correct grammar and natural collocations: “they are cheap,” not “there are cheap,” and “good for exercise,” not “good for social media.” Organize the reasons with linking words such as “because” and “in addition.” Replace unclear phrases like “fluid room and post Ebola” with specific, relevant examples, such as bike lanes, parks, or scenic riverside routes.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people use them because they are affordable, convenient for short trips, and useful for exercise. In addition, new bike lanes and scenic cycling routes along the rivers have encouraged more people to take up cycling.

× No, I don't have to buy, but I'm usually, uh, riding my cycle.

✓ No, I didn't have to buy one, but I usually rode my bicycle.

The question asks about the student's childhood, so the past tense is required. Use didn't have to instead of don't have to and rode instead of riding. The pronoun one is added to replace bike and complete the verb phrase.

× No, I don't have to buy, but I'm usually, uh, riding my cycle.

✓ No, I didn't have to buy one, but I usually rode my bicycle.

The adverb usually is normally followed by the simple present or simple past form when describing a habitual action. Because the answer refers to childhood, use usually rode, not usually riding.

× Yes, makes me quite popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.

The original sentence is missing a clear subject and uses makes incorrectly. The subject bikes should be followed by the linking verb are and the adjective popular.

× Many people prefer them because there are cheap, convenient for a short trip and good for exercise and social media.

✓ Many people prefer them because they are cheap, convenient for short trips, and good for exercise and social media.

There are introduces the existence or location of plural nouns, but the sentence describes bikes. Use the pronoun they with are. Short trips is plural because the statement refers to trips in general.

× Fluid room and post Ebola scenic cycling and rivers which encourage more people to try cycling.

✓ The scenic cycling routes and rivers encourage more people to try cycling.

The original wording does not form a clear grammatical sentence because its subject is unclear and the phrase before which is not properly structured. The correction provides a clear subject, scenic cycling routes and rivers, followed by the main verb encourage. The unclear words appear to be transcription errors, so the correction reconstructs the likely intended meaning.
