Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then give one clear supporting detail. Correct the articles and plurals: say “as a child,” “one of my friends,” and “had a bike.” Avoid repeating ideas such as “a lot of things” and “lots of places”; use a natural phrase such as “explore nearby places.”

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child, but one of my friends did. We often rode around our neighborhood together and explored nearby places.

Sugerencia: Make sure you answer about “bikes”; “bags” appears to be a mistaken word. Your reasons are relevant, but make the comparison clearer and correct the grammar: say “they’re efficient” and “they make it easy to get around.” Use “rush hour” rather than “rush time.”

Ejemplo: Yes, motorbikes are very popular in my country, especially in crowded cities. They’re relatively affordable and make it easy to get around in heavy traffic, particularly during rush hour.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was child, but one of my friend had bike and we used to play together and travel the new places and we we used to explore a lot of things, lots lots of place by the that bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but one of my friends had a bike, and we used to play together, travel to new places, and explore a lot of things and lots of places on that bike.

Friend must be plural in one of my friends because one of + a noun takes a plural noun. Place must also be plural after lots of when referring to multiple places. Check whether a noun refers to one or more than one, and use the correct form.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was child, but one of my friend had bike and we used to play together and travel the new places and we we used to explore a lot of things, lots lots of place by the that bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but one of my friends had a bike, and we used to play together, travel to new places, and explore a lot of things and lots of places on that bike.

Use a before child and bike because these are singular countable nouns introduced for the first time. The is not needed before new places when speaking about places generally. In that bike, do not add the before that, because a demonstrative such as that already specifies the noun.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was child, but one of my friend had bike and we used to play together and travel the new places and we we used to explore a lot of things, lots lots of place by the that bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but one of my friends had a bike, and we used to play together, travel to new places, and explore a lot of things and lots of places on that bike.

Use travel to new places, not travel the new places, to show movement toward a destination. On that bike is the natural preposition for describing travel using a bike. Pay attention to the prepositions commonly used with verbs of movement and means of transport.

× In my country, bags are really popular because many areas are crowded and traffic is heavy. Most people prefer motorbikes or scooters since they are cheap and also feel efficient, and it makes easy to get around quickly during our rush time.

✓ In my country, bags are really popular because many areas are crowded and traffic is heavy. Most people prefer motorbikes or scooters since they are cheap and also feel efficient, and it makes it easy to get around quickly during our rush time.

The phrase makes easy needs an object pronoun referring to the activity of getting around. Add it after makes: makes it easy to get around. In this structure, it functions as a placeholder object before the infinitive phrase.
