Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Start by answering the question directly about the past, then add one or two brief supporting details. Use past tense for childhood and avoid repeating information. Include a linking word when adding a detail (e.g., "but", "however", "so").

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. However, I started saving money as a teenager and bought my first bicycle at 16, which I used to commute to school.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give specific reasons using clear vocabulary and correct grammar. Avoid unclear phrases (like "their bags") and use linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Provide concrete examples or comparisons to support your opinion.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use motorbikes to commute to work, and you can often see crowded streets full of scooters during rush hour.

× No, I have my own cycle now.

✓ No, I didn't have a cycle when I was a child.

The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child). The student used present tense 'have' which is inappropriate. Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the time reference. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time expression (when I was a child -> past simple).

× I'm adult so I have my own bike.

✓ I'm an adult, so I have my own bike now.

The phrase 'I'm adult' is missing the indefinite article 'an' before a singular countable noun 'adult'. Also the clause refers to the present, so 'I have my own bike now' is appropriate. Suggestion: include articles before singular countable nouns and use a comma before 'so' when joining clauses.

× Yes, I think their bags are very popular in my country because every other loves his bike and also they can care more than itself.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because everyone loves their bike and they can take care of it better.

Multiple issues: 'their bags' does not match context—should be 'bikes' (wrong noun). 'every other' is incorrect; use 'everyone' or 'everybody'. Subject-verb agreement: 'everyone loves' is correct (singular indefinite subject with singular verb). Pronoun agreement: use 'their' as a gender-neutral singular possessive, and refer back to a singular noun with 'it' rather than 'itself'. 'can care more than itself' is ungrammatical; correct idiom is 'take care of it better'. Suggestion: use 'everyone' or 'everybody', use appropriate nouns, and use 'take care of' for caring for objects.
