Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details. Use correct verb forms and articles (e.g., “a bike,” “when I was a child”). Avoid unnecessary repetition.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that I used to ride to school and around the neighborhood, but it broke when I was about twelve.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and an example. Use correct tenses, singular/plural forms, and smoother linking words (e.g., “however,” “because,” “for example”). Avoid repetition and offensive or inaccurate generalizations.

Example: I don’t think bicycles are very popular now. Fifty years ago they were common, but today most people prefer cars or motorcycles because they are faster and more comfortable. For example, in my city many families buy motorbikes for commuting, so bicycles are mainly used for exercise or by children.

× Yes, I had the bike when I was child and now it's broken.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and now it's broken.

The original sentence has articles missing and an article error: 'the bike' and 'when I was child' are incorrect. This fits Past tense issue (5) because the sentence describes a past possession; also article errors (22) are present but per instructions only correct items matching the list — here we correct to proper past-tense phrasing. Use 'a bike' for nonspecific noun and 'a child' after 'was'. Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: use 'I had a bike when I was a child' to clearly express past possession.

× No, maybe before, before 50 years ago.

✓ No, maybe before, about 50 years ago.

The phrase 'before 50 years ago' is ungrammatical for expressing time in the past. This matches Present tense issue (6) in the list because it concerns correct expression of time reference; correct form is 'about 50 years ago' or simply '50 years ago'. Suggestion: use 'about 50 years ago' or '50 years ago' to indicate a past time reference.

× The bikes are very important things.

✓ Bikes are very important.

Using 'The bikes' and 'things' is awkward here. This matches Singular and plural issue (1) because 'bikes' should be used generally without 'the' when speaking about the category; 'things' is unnecessary. Suggestion: say 'Bikes are very important' to make a natural general statement about bicycles.

× If you have the bike, so you are rich man.

✓ If you have a bike, you are a rich man.

Original has article errors and misuse of 'so'. This matches Third person singular issue (2) because 'you are rich man' lacks the indefinite article before 'rich man' and 'so' should be omitted in conditional result clause. Correction uses 'a bike' and 'a rich man'. Suggestion: use 'If you have a bike, you are a rich man.' for a conditional general statement.

× And in our days people doesn't like, doesn't doesn't like bikes, they like they prepare cars or motorbike.

✓ Nowadays people don't like bikes; they prefer cars or motorbikes.

Multiple errors: incorrect negation 'doesn't' with plural subject 'people' and repetition, wrong verb 'prepare' for 'prefer', and singular 'motorbike' after 'cars or'. This fits Present tense issue (6) because it concerns present-tense subject-verb agreement and verb choice. Use 'people don't like' (plural subject with do not), 'prefer' instead of 'prepare', and plural 'motorbikes' to match 'cars'. Suggestion: 'Nowadays people don't like bikes; they prefer cars or motorbikes.'
