Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You answer the question directly and give a personal reason and feeling, which makes your response relevant. However, correct the grammar in “got got” and “when as a teenager,” and make the final sentence clearer. Use a linking phrase to connect your childhood experience with when you eventually got a bike.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn’t afford one. I sometimes felt jealous when I saw other children riding theirs. However, I eventually got a bike as a teenager, and I was thrilled to have one.

Sugerencia: Your answer gives a clear opinion and relevant reasons, such as avoiding traffic and saving money. Improve article and plural use: say “an inexpensive and convenient way,” “short distances,” and “use bicycles.” You could also make the example more specific by mentioning a type of area or journey.

Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country because they’re an inexpensive and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many people ride to work or school, especially in busy cities. This helps them avoid traffic and save money on fuel.

× Also, I usually walk or use public transport until I finally got got a bike when as a teenager.

✓ Also, I usually walked or used public transport until I finally got a bike as a teenager.

The sentence describes a period in the past, so walked and used should be in the past tense to match got. Use as a teenager, not when as a teenager. Also, got is repeated accidentally.

× Also, I usually walk or use public transport until I finally got got a bike when as a teenager.

✓ Also, I usually walked or used public transport until I finally got a bike as a teenager.

The phrase got got repeats the verb, and when as combines two ways of expressing the same time relationship. Use got once and say as a teenager.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient way to commute short distance.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an inexpensive and convenient way to commute short distances.

Way is a singular countable noun, so it needs the article an here. Use an before inexpensive because the word begins with a vowel sound.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient way to commute short distance.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are an inexpensive and convenient way to commute short distances.

Short distances refers to distances in general, so use the plural form distances rather than the singular distance.

× For example, many people use bicycle to get to work or school because they avoid traffic and save money on fuel.

✓ For example, many people use bicycles to get to work or school because they avoid traffic and save money on fuel.

Bicycle is a singular countable noun used here to refer to bikes in general. Use the plural form bicycles for this general meaning.
