Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then explain the safety and infrastructure issues in a clear sequence. Avoid fillers and the unnatural phrase “drive cycles”; say “ride a bike.” Correct the tense and wording in “there wasn't” and “bike bikeable city.” You could also clarify how visiting India gave you opportunities to learn.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because the city where I lived wasn’t very safe for cycling. It also had few pavements or bike lanes, so it wasn’t easy to get around by bike. However, whenever I visited India, I had a chance to practise riding one.

Sugerencia: Your response gives relevant reasons, but improve grammatical accuracy: say “they’re easy to use,” “they don’t use petrol,” and “fuel has become quite expensive.” Use a clear linking phrase such as “Another reason is…” and avoid repeating the idea that bikes are easy to ride. If possible, specify what kind of bikes people use or where they are popular.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. They’re relatively easy to learn to ride, and they’re cheaper to run than cars because they don’t need petrol. For example, many people use them for short trips or to avoid traffic.

× There wasn't, uh, it's not a walkable city or a bike bikeable city.

✓ It wasn't a walkable or bikeable city.

The sentence begins with 'There wasn't' but does not complete that construction before switching to 'it's not.' This creates an incomplete, awkward sentence structure. Use 'It wasn't' to describe the city in the past, and remove the repeated 'bike.'

× There is not a lot of, uh, pavement.

✓ There wasn't a lot of pavement.

The student is describing the city where they lived as a child, so the past tense 'wasn't' is more consistent with the surrounding past-time context. Use 'There wasn't' for a past condition.

× I think so, yeah. I feel like a lot of people here use bikes because first of all, it's a very easy to use, it's not hard to learn how to ride a bike, and second of all, it doesn't use a gas, which become quite pricey these days.

✓ I think so, yeah. I feel like a lot of people here use bikes because, first of all, it's very easy to use and it's not hard to learn how to ride a bike. Second of all, it doesn't use gas, which becomes quite pricey these days.

Do not use 'a' before 'very easy'; the correct phrase is 'it's very easy to use.' Also, 'gas' is an uncountable noun in this context, so it does not take the article 'a.'

'Which' refers to the singular noun 'gas,' so the verb must be singular: 'becomes,' not 'become.'
