Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Combine the ideas naturally, and give a brief reason or detail. For example, use “didn’t have” and “couldn’t afford” rather than present-tense forms.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. I usually walked to school or played with my friends nearby.

Sugerencia: Complete your opinion with a clear answer and support it with a specific reason or example. You could mention who uses bikes or what they use them for, linking the detail with “because” or “for example.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around. For example, many people use them for short trips to work or to nearby shops.

× I don't have a bike.

✓ I didn't have a bike.

The question asks about your childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Change 'don't have' to 'didn't have' to describe not owning a bike at that time.

× My family cannot afford to buy a bike.

✓ My family couldn't afford to buy a bike.

This sentence explains why you did not have a bike as a child, so it should also refer to the past. Use 'couldn't afford' instead of 'cannot afford.'
