Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then add a few clear details. Use the past-tense form “was” with “I,” say “when I was six,” and use natural phrases such as “I really loved riding it” and “in the evenings.” Avoid joining several ideas in one run-on sentence.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got my first one when I was six, and it had three wheels. I really loved riding it with my family in the evenings.

Sugerencia: Give a clear reason and support it with one or two relevant details. Replace unclear phrases like “in my will,” “left to do,” and “right over the town” with natural expressions such as “in my city,” “like going for a ride,” and “ride around town.” Reduce hesitation and repetition, and use “bike lanes” rather than “bike roads.”

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in my city. There are many bike lanes, so people can ride safely. Many people also go for a bike ride in the morning or cycle around town to get to work.

× I had a bike when I were a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The subject I takes was, not were, in the past tense. Use was with I, he, she, and it; use were with you, we, and they.

× My first bike was bought for me at my age of 6.

✓ My first bike was bought for me at the age of 6.

The standard expression is at the age of six. Alternatively, you can say when I was six.

× My first bike was bought for me at my age of 6, there were three wheels.

✓ My first bike was bought for me at the age of 6. It had three wheels.

The original joins two complete clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Separate them with a period or join them with a suitable conjunction. Using it also makes clear that the bike had three wheels.

× I very loved to go on the evening riding with my family.

✓ I really loved riding in the evening with my family.

Very does not normally modify the verb loved. Use really to modify loved. The natural expression is riding in the evening, rather than on the evening riding.
