Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question about your childhood directly and use the past tense. Avoid mentioning your current age or saying you are not a child, as this does not answer whether you had a bike when you were younger. Add one relevant detail, such as what you used the bike for.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small bike when I was a child, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer, then support it with a specific reason or example. Replace unnatural phrases like “all our people” and “a common normal” with expressions such as “many people” and “a common way to get around.” Avoid claiming that everyone owns a bike.

Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. Many people own one because it is an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances.

× Yes, I have a bike and I am 19 years old.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and I am 19 years old.

The question asks about a past situation, so use the simple past had rather than the present tense have. Use the simple past was to refer to the time when you were a child.

× I'm not child.

✓ I'm not a child.

Child is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a before child.

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country because all our people have our personal bikes, so it's a common normal.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because people have their own bikes, so they are common.

The possessive determiner should agree with the people who own the bikes: use their own bikes, not our personal bikes. Their refers to people in general.

× Yes, bikes are popular in our country because all our people have our personal bikes, so it's a common normal.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in our country because all our people have our personal bikes, so bikes are common.

Common is an adjective and cannot naturally follow a as a noun in this sentence. Use bikes are common to describe the bikes directly.
