Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Expand your answer with a brief topic sentence and 1–2 supporting details. Say why you didn’t have one (for example, family reasons or safety) or mention an alternative you used. Keep it natural and under five sentences, using linking words such as “because” or “so.”

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought the roads were too busy. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus, so I didn’t learn to ride until I was older.

Suggestion: Make the answer more specific by giving reasons and an example. Use a topic sentence then add supporting details with linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “also.” Avoid repeating the question word-for-word.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, cities have dedicated bike lanes and you often see students and office workers cycling to work.
