Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You answer directly and add a personal memory, which makes your response engaging. Improve the grammar by saying “cutting my elbow badly” rather than “cutting my elbow really bad.” The final clause is slightly awkward; use a clearer linking phrase such as “Even so, I really enjoyed riding it.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad gave it to me and taught me how to ride it. I remember falling off once and cutting my elbow badly, but even so, I really enjoyed riding it.

Sugerencia: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason, but “valuable infrastructure” is not the natural phrase here; say “adequate cycling infrastructure” or “proper bike lanes.” Clarify what “it” refers to, and add a specific example, such as the lack of safe bike lanes in cities. You could also connect your ideas with “because” and “however.”

Ejemplo: No, bikes aren’t very popular in my country because many roads don’t have safe bike lanes. In busy cities, cyclists often have to share the road with cars, which can be dangerous. However, I’d like to see more cycling infrastructure built.

× I remember falling off it once and cutting my elbow really bad, but still it was a very fun experience riding it.

✓ I remember falling off it once and cutting my elbow really badly, but it was still a very fun experience riding it.

Badly is an adverb and is needed to describe how the elbow was cut. Bad is an adjective. The adverb still is more naturally placed before the verb phrase: it was still a very fun experience.
