Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then add one or two relevant details. Use past tense consistently: “had,” “was,” and “bought.” Say “fascinated by bikes” and “at that time” rather than “fascinated about” and “that time.” Avoid starting the second sentence with “And.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I was fascinated by bicycles, so my father bought me a brand-new one for my birthday. I was delighted, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Your answer gives a clear opinion and relevant reasons, but remove fillers such as “uh” and make the wording more natural. Use “less time-consuming” and “a convenient way to get around.” Explain briefly how bikes help people deal with heavy traffic, and replace the vague phrase “reach the location” with a specific destination or purpose.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. They’re convenient and often quicker than driving, especially when the roads are congested. Many people use them for short trips to work or nearby shops.

× I do have a bike when I was a child

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The sentence describes a past experience, so use the past-tense form had rather than the present-tense form do have.

× I am very fascinated about the bicycles that time

✓ I was very fascinated by bicycles at that time.

Because the speaker is describing childhood in the past, use was instead of am.

× I am very fascinated about the bicycles that time

✓ I was very fascinated by bicycles at that time.

The usual preposition with fascinated is by. Use at before a specific time expression: at that time.

× my father buy me a brand new model by that time

✓ My father bought me a brand new model at that time.

The event happened in the past, so use bought, the past-tense form of buy.

× my father buy me a brand new model by that time

✓ My father bought me a brand new model at that time.

At that time refers to when the event happened. By that time usually means before a particular later point in the past.
