Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then avoid repeating the same point (“I had a bike when I was a child”). Use the past tense consistently (“It was a gift”), and complete your final thought with a specific detail, such as how you felt or what you did. Try to keep fillers like “um” and “like” to a minimum.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My dad gave me a bike as a gift when I was a child. I remember practicing how to ride it at his school, and I was really excited when I finally managed to ride on my own.

Sugerencia: Make your comparison clear and use the correct tense: “Bikes used to be more popular, but they aren’t as popular now.” The last phrase is unclear, so explain your reason with a complete, specific idea—for example, that more people live in cities and rely on cars or public transport. Avoid repeating words such as “it’s.”

Ejemplo: Bikes used to be more popular in my country, but I don’t think they are as common now. Many people live in busy cities, where they often choose public transport or cars instead. However, bikes are still popular for exercise and short trips.

× Well, I guess it's it's used to be very popular, but I don't think it is as popular as it's used to be because people are now living in kind of a really hospital.

✓ Well, I guess it used to be very popular, but I don't think it is as popular as it used to be because people are now living in kind of a really hospital.

Use used to + the base form of a verb to describe a past situation or habit. The extra is in it's used to be is incorrect, so remove it in both places. The final phrase is unclear, so it has not been changed without more context.
