Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then describe one specific memory. Reduce fillers such as “umm” and “uh,” and use natural phrases like “a really fun time” and “in our backyard.” You could also avoid saying you do not remember the bike before describing the experience; instead, say you do not remember many details about it.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me when I was around ten, and I used to ride it in our backyard with my brothers. I don’t remember many details about the bike, but I remember having a lot of fun.

Sugerencia: Make your main point clearer by distinguishing between popularity among children and adults. Use “children” rather than “Childs,” “transport” or “get around” rather than “transform,” and “ride a bike” rather than “drive a bike.” Avoid repeating that the weather is hot, and connect your reason to the preference for cars.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular, especially among children and teenagers. However, many adults in my country prefer to travel by car because the weather is very hot for much of the year. Riding in the sun can be uncomfortable, so people often use cars for their daily journeys.

× I don't really remember it, but yes, it was really fun time because it was umm, like a backyard of uh, our house and uh, me and my brothers were playing together.

✓ I don't really remember it, but yes, it was a really fun time because it was, like, in the backyard of our house, and my brothers and I were playing together.

The singular countable noun phrase 'fun time' needs the article 'a'. Also, the natural preposition for describing the location is 'in the backyard'.

× I don't really remember it, but yes, it was really fun time because it was umm, like a backyard of uh, our house and uh, me and my brothers were playing together.

✓ I don't really remember it, but yes, it was a really fun time because it was, like, in the backyard of our house, and my brothers and I were playing together.

Use the subject pronoun 'I', not the object pronoun 'me', because the pronoun is part of the subject of 'were playing'. A helpful check is to remove 'my brothers and': 'I was playing' is correct, while 'me was playing' is not.

× Yes, I think it's very popular, especially when we are Childs and younger, uh, like when you are growing up.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular, especially when we are children, particularly when we are younger, like when we are growing up.

The question is about bikes, so use the plural pronoun 'they' to refer to them rather than 'it'. Keep the pronouns consistent by using 'we' rather than switching to 'you' in the same general statement.

× Yes, I think it's very popular, especially when we are Childs and younger, uh, like when you are growing up.

✓ Yes, I think they are very popular, especially when we are children, particularly when we are younger, like when we are growing up.

'Childs' is not the plural form of 'child'; the irregular plural is 'children'. Also, 'children' is a common noun and should not be capitalized in the middle of a sentence.

× We don't really use it that much because my country is really hot country and we use cars to transform rather than bikes because we don't really want to like drive a bike under the sun directly.

✓ We don't really use them that much because my country is a really hot country and we use cars to transform rather than bikes because we don't really want to, like, drive a bike under the sun directly.

The singular countable noun 'country' needs an article here. Use 'a' before 'really hot country'.

× We don't really use it that much because my country is really hot country and we use cars to transform rather than bikes because we don't really want to like drive a bike under the sun directly.

✓ We don't really use them that much because my country is a really hot country and we use cars to transform rather than bikes because we don't really want to, like, drive a bike under the sun directly.

The pronoun refers to 'bikes', which is plural, so use 'them' rather than 'it'.
