Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar and sentence structure: use past tense consistently and correct pronouns ('I didn't have a bike when I was young'). Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two concise supporting details with linking words (e.g., 'because' or 'so'). Keep it natural and avoid repetition. Also correct small word-choice errors ('again' is incorrect here).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was too scared to learn to ride. As a result, my parents never bought one for me, and I usually walked or took the bus to school.

Suggestion: Clarify subject-verb agreement and avoid filler words. Start with a direct topic sentence ('Yes, bikes are popular in my country'), then give specific supporting details using linking words ('because' / 'for example'). Mention concrete reasons or examples (bike-sharing systems, convenience, cost) and avoid incorrect words ('bags').

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Korea because many cities now have bike-sharing systems. For example, people use shared bikes for short trips to work or to run errands since they are cheap and convenient.

× I don't have a bike when I was young.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was young.

The sentence mixes present tense 'don't have' with past time reference 'when I was young.' Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for actions or states in the past (e.g., 'I didn't have...').

× I'm too scared to learn how to ride so that's why I didn't have my bike when I was again.

✓ I was too scared to learn how to ride, so I didn't have a bike when I was young.

Multiple problems: 'I'm' (present) should be past 'I was' because the speaker refers to childhood; 'that's why' can be simplified to 'so' for clarity; 'my bike when I was again' is ungrammatical and likely intended 'a bike when I was young.' Use 'a bike' not 'my bike' to match general lack of owning one. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent (past) and use clear noun phrases ('a bike') and correct time expression ('when I was young').

× Yes, it is.

✓ Yes, they are.

The question asked 'Do you think bikes are popular...' Bikes is plural, so the appropriate short answer uses plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are.' 'It is' incorrectly treats 'bikes' as singular. Suggestion: Match the pronoun and verb number to the subject: plural subject -> 'they are.'

× Our bags are very popular in Korea these days, Uh, because you know, in Korea there they have sharing bike system in the city, so a lot of people use the system for riding a bike.

✓ Bikes are very popular in Korea these days because there is a bike-sharing system in the cities, so a lot of people use the system to ride bikes.

Multiple issues: 'Our bags' is incorrect word choice and pronoun—should be 'bikes.' 'in Korea there they have' is redundant and awkward—use 'there is' for existence. 'Sharing bike system' should be 'bike-sharing system.' Use plural or consistent nouns: 'cities' or 'the city' consistently; 'use the system for riding a bike' is awkward—use 'to ride bikes.' Suggestion: Use correct nouns/pronouns, the 'there is/there are' construction for existence, hyphenated compound nouns where common ('bike-sharing system'), and parallel plural forms when speaking generally.
