Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the response more grammatical, concise and include a clear time reference. Start with a topic sentence, then add one supporting detail. Use linking words if needed. Correct verb forms and include articles where necessary (e.g., "a bike", "riding bikes").

Example: Yes. My dad bought me a bike when I was in Grade 3, and I have been riding it for about ten years. Because I practiced it every day after school, I became quite confident riding in traffic.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion first, then add two specific reasons with linking words. Remove filler words (uh, um) and correct grammar (use present tense: "are popular", "prefer to ride bikes"). Be specific about who uses bikes and for what purpose. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Firstly, many urban residents prefer cycling because it is eco-friendly and helps avoid traffic. Secondly, students and office workers often ride bikes for short commutes to school or work because it is cheap and convenient.

× Yes, my dad bought me a bike when I was in grade 3 so have been riding bike for like 10 years.

✓ Yes, my dad bought me a bike when I was in grade 3, so I have been riding a bike for about 10 years.

Errors: missing subject 'I' before 'have been', missing article 'a' before 'bike', and wording 'like' is informal; use 'about'. Grammar problem type: present participle/continuous requires correct auxiliary and subject. Suggestion: Always include the subject with perfect continuous ('I have been') and use articles with singular countable nouns ('a bike'). Use 'about' for approximate durations in formal speech.

× Uh, yes, I, I did. And then because today people are more, uh, like to enjoy a green life in city, so they prefer to, uh, buy a ride a bike when they are go to school or.

✓ Uh, yes, I did. Nowadays, people prefer to enjoy a greener life in the city, so they prefer to ride a bike when they go to school.

Multiple errors fit the present participle and other categories: incorrect verb forms ('are more like to enjoy' should be 'prefer to enjoy' or 'like enjoying'), missing article 'the' before 'city', extra words ('buy a ride a bike') and wrong verb form 'are go' should be 'go'. Correction simplifies to 'prefer to enjoy a greener life in the city' and 'prefer to ride a bike when they go to school'. Suggestion: use 'prefer to' + base verb for preferences, use comparative adjective 'greener' for 'more green', include definite article 'the' with 'city' when referring generally to urban areas, and use base verb after 'go to school' without auxiliary.
