Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the examiner's question rather than repeating it. Use the past tense because the question is about your childhood, and add one relevant detail, such as who you rode with or where you used the bike.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a small blue bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Sugerencia: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a relevant reason, but improve the grammar: say “in recent years,” use “the government,” and say it “has tried to improve cycling infrastructure.” Add a specific detail, such as bike lanes or a city where cycling is becoming more common.

Ejemplo: Bikes are not very popular in my country, but cycling is becoming more common. In recent years, the government has tried to improve cycling infrastructure by building more bike lanes, especially in larger cities.

× Do you have a bike when you were a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The question refers to a completed period in the past, as shown by when you were a child. Use did + the base form have to ask about past possession.

× Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in last years government tries to do some infrastructures for biking.

✓ Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in the last few years, the government has tried to build some infrastructure for biking.

In the last few years refers to a period continuing up to the present, so the present perfect has tried is more suitable than tries. For similar time expressions, use the present perfect to describe developments or actions during that period.

× Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in last years government tries to do some infrastructures for biking.

✓ Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in the last few years, the government has tried to build some infrastructure for biking.

The phrase needs the before last few years, and government needs the because it refers to the government of the speaker's country. Remember to use an article when a singular countable noun refers to a specific entity.

× Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in last years government tries to do some infrastructures for biking.

✓ Bikes are not so popular in our country, but in the last few years, the government has tried to build some infrastructure for biking.

Infrastructure is generally an uncountable noun in this meaning, so it should not be made plural as infrastructures. Use some infrastructure, not some infrastructures.
