Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then describe when you rode the bike and what you did with it. Reduce fillers such as “umm” and “uh,” avoid repeating “so,” and correct “10 or to 13” to “from 10 to 13.” Finish with a complete sentence that explains what you did after school.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father gave it to me when I was about ten, and I rode it almost every day after school. I kept using it until I was around thirteen.

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and includes useful supporting details. Improve its naturalness by saying “cycling is quite popular in Korea,” “bike lanes,” and “public bike-sharing services.” Avoid repeating “public,” and say “here” rather than “in here.” You could also add a specific example of where people cycle.

Ejemplo: Yes, cycling is quite popular in Korea. Many cities have dedicated bike lanes, and public bike-sharing services make it easy for people to get around. For example, you often see people cycling along the riverside paths in Seoul.

× I was at about 10 or to 13 I had a bike.

✓ I had a bike from about age 10 to 13.

The phrase at about ... or to does not correctly express an age range. Use from ... to ... to describe the beginning and end of a period.

× So, so every day after school.

✓ I rode it every day after school.

This is a sentence fragment because it does not contain a subject and a verb. Add a subject and a verb to make the idea a complete sentence. Since the speaker is describing a past habit, rode is appropriate.

× So I think it's quite popular in here.

✓ So I think it's quite popular here.

Use here by itself to refer to the speaker's country or location. In here usually refers to being inside a particular place.
