Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly using the past tense: say that you had a bicycle. Avoid the unclear comparison between girls' and boys' bikes, and correct phrases such as “every day” and “in the evening.” Add one specific detail about where you rode or how you felt, and finish the sentence clearly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. My dad bought it for me, and I often rode it with my friends in the evening. We usually cycled around our neighborhood, and I really enjoyed spending time outdoors.

Sugerencia: Give a clear answer first, then explain one or two reasons. Use natural phrases such as “people who don’t own a car” and “a convenient option for daily travel” instead of “suitable preference.” Clarify what you mean by “because of the truck”—for example, mention traffic or the cost of public transport—and avoid restarting sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in busy cities. They’re an affordable and convenient way to get around, particularly for people who don’t own a car. Also, cycling can be quicker than driving when the roads are congested.

× Well yes I do have a bike when I was a child

✓ Well, yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past period, and the phrase when I was a child establishes that the event is in the past. Use did have, not do have. For past experiences, keep the verb tense consistent with the time reference.

× But mainly I am a girl so I do not have a bike that boys do have.

✓ But since I was a girl, I did not have the kind of bike boys had.

This sentence describes the speaker's childhood, so use past-tense forms: was, did not have, and had. When discussing a past situation, make sure related verbs refer to that same past time.

× But my dad bought me a bicycle which I ride everyday with my friends at the evening time around 6:00 or 5:00.

✓ My dad bought me a bicycle, which I rode every day with my friends in the evening, around 5:00 or 6:00.

Because the sentence describes childhood, ride should be changed to the past-tense form rode. Use past tense for actions that happened during a completed period in the past.

× But my dad bought me a bicycle which I ride everyday with my friends at the evening time around 6:00 or 5:00.

✓ My dad bought me a bicycle, which I rode every day with my friends in the evening, around 5:00 or 6:00.

The conventional preposition for this time expression is in: in the evening, not at the evening time. Use in with parts of the day, such as in the morning and in the afternoon.

× I feel very happy while riding the bicycle and I was.

✓ I felt very happy while riding the bicycle.

The sentence refers to a past experience, so feel should be in the past tense: felt. Use the past tense when describing how you felt during a past event.

× I feel very happy while riding the bicycle and I was.

✓ I felt very happy while riding the bicycle.

The ending and I was is incomplete because was needs a complement, such as an adjective or noun phrase. Remove the unfinished clause, or complete it with the intended information.

× Well, yes, I think in my country, uh, bikes are more popular because, uh, if we look at the public transport and for those who are not having uh, transportation system by their own, let's take an example.

✓ Well, yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are a suitable option for people who do not have their own transportation, especially when we consider public transport.

Have normally describes possession and is not used in the continuous form in this context. Use do not have rather than are not having. Use the simple present for general facts and situations.

× Well, yes, I think in my country, uh, bikes are more popular because, uh, if we look at the public transport and for those who are not having uh, transportation system by their own, let's take an example.

✓ Well, yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are a suitable option for people who do not have their own transportation, especially when we consider public transport.

By their own is not the correct expression for possession here. Say their own transportation. Use their own before a noun to show that something belongs to or is provided by them.

× Well, yes, I think in my country, uh, bikes are more popular because, uh, if we look at the public transport and for those who are not having uh, transportation system by their own, let's take an example. A car or anything else, uh, bike will be a suitable preference for everyday transportation in the, in my city because of the truck.

✓ Well, yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are a suitable option for people who do not have their own transportation, especially when we consider public transport. A bike can be a suitable option for everyday transportation in my city.

The original combines an unfinished if-clause with a separate phrase beginning for those, then introduces an example without forming a complete sentence. Organize the ideas into complete clauses, and connect the reason and example clearly. Avoid beginning a sentence with a disconnected list such as A car or anything else.

× A car or anything else, uh, bike will be a suitable preference for everyday transportation in the, in my city because of the truck.

✓ A bike can be a suitable option for everyday transportation in my city.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a bike when referring to one bike in a general way. The phrase in the, in my city also contains a repeated, unnecessary article; say in my city.
