Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce repetition, give a clear topic sentence, and add one supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences). For example, say you had a bike, mention how often you used it or why you stopped having one, and link ideas with words like "but" or "so." Also correct small fluency errors (remove doubled words) and avoid unnecessary extra clauses.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used it almost every day to ride around my neighborhood, but I no longer own one because I moved to the city and now use public transport.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then give one or two specific supporting details and use linking words. Avoid repeating personal childhood information unless it supports the point. Mention reasons or examples (e.g., commuting, leisure, infrastructure) to make your answer concrete and relevant.

Example: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country. For example, many people use them for short commutes and exercise, and some cities have built cycle lanes to encourage cycling.

× When I was a child I had I had a bike, but now I don't have any more.

✓ When I was a child I had a bike, but now I don't have one anymore.

The original sentence repeats 'I had' causing redundancy and uses 'any more' awkwardly with 'have' and countable noun. Correct to 'one anymore' to refer back to 'a bike' and remove repetition. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and use 'one' for a single countable item and 'anymore' as a single adverb after the object.

× When I was a child I had a bike, but I only use it when I played outside.

✓ When I was a child I had a bike, but I only used it when I played outside.

The sentence mixes past context 'When I was a child' with present tense 'use'. Both verbs should be in the past. Change 'use' to past simple 'used' to match the time frame. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent by matching actions to the same past period; use 'used' for habitual actions in the past.
