Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Ответ в целом понятен, но фраза после *but* построена неясно, а многочисленные паузы и самокоррекция (*Boat. A bike*) мешают беглости. Сначала ответьте прямо, затем кратко объясните, как у вас появился велосипед. Используйте прошедшее время: *my father bought me a bike*.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was very young. Later, my friend Donna encouraged me to get one, so my father bought me a bike.

Sugerencia: Основная мысль понятна, но *Russian loves* грамматически неверно: говорите *Russians love* или *bicycles are popular in Russia*. Избегайте повторов и заполнителей пауз (*uh, umm*). Добавьте конкретную причину или пример и используйте естественное сочетание *in summer*.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bicycles are popular in Russia, especially in summer. The warmer weather makes it enjoyable to ride in parks or along bike paths.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but uh, then my friend whose name Donna uh, told me, uh, and my father buy me a bike. Boat. A bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but then my friend, whose name was Donna, told me, and my father bought me a bike.

The clause whose name Donna is missing a verb. Add was to make it a complete clause: whose name was Donna.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but uh, then my friend whose name Donna uh, told me, uh, and my father buy me a bike. Boat. A bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but then my friend, whose name was Donna, told me, and my father bought me a bike.

The sentence describes events in the past, so buy should be in the past tense: bought. Use the past form of the verb when recounting completed past events.

× Yes, I think Russian loves, uh, bicycles, umm, and uh, especially we love, uh, riding a bike, uh, and the summer.

✓ Yes, I think Russians love bicycles, and we especially love riding bikes in the summer.

The answer refers generally to people from Russia, so use the plural noun Russians rather than the singular Russian. The plural subject also takes the verb love. Use plural forms when making a general statement about a group of people.

× Yes, I think Russian loves, uh, bicycles, umm, and uh, especially we love, uh, riding a bike, uh, and the summer.

✓ Yes, I think Russians love bicycles, and we especially love riding bikes in the summer.

Especially is more naturally placed before the verb phrase it emphasizes: we especially love. Place adverbs near the words or phrases they modify.

× Yes, I think Russian loves, uh, bicycles, umm, and uh, especially we love, uh, riding a bike, uh, and the summer.

✓ Yes, I think Russians love bicycles, and we especially love riding bikes in the summer.

Use in with seasons when referring to the time of year: in the summer. Use the appropriate preposition to show when an activity takes place.
