Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “Yes, I did” and “I had.” Make the final clause more natural by saying your father gave you the bike for your birthday. You could add one specific detail about how you used it.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My father gave me a bike for my birthday when I was about eight. I used to ride it around our neighbourhood with my friends.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then explain the benefits using a natural structure, such as “riding a bike can improve…” Avoid the incorrect phrase “by ride bicycling.” Add a concrete reason or example, such as cycling for commuting or exercise.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them for exercise or to get to nearby places. Cycling is an affordable way to travel, and it can also improve both physical and mental health.

× Yes I do, I have a bike when I was a child that was given by my father on my birthday.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child; my father gave it to me on my birthday.

The question asks about the past, so the present-tense response Yes, I do does not match. Use Yes, I did to answer a past-tense question.

× Yes I do, I have a bike when I was a child that was given by my father on my birthday.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child; my father gave it to me on my birthday.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a completed period in the past. Use the past-tense verb had, not the present-tense verb have. The past-tense verb gave also makes the gift sentence more direct.

× Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country because by ride bicycling we can improve our mental and physical health.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are really popular in my country because by riding a bicycle, we can improve our mental and physical health.

When by describes how an action is done, it is followed by a gerund ending in -ing. Change ride to riding. Also, ride bicycling is redundant; riding a bicycle expresses the idea clearly.
