Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid fillers ("umm", "like") and contradictory time references (childhood vs adolescence). Use linking words (for example, however) to make your point coherent and correct verb forms ("learned to ride").

Example: Yes. I had a tricycle when I was a child, but I never learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle. As a result, even now in my teens I still find it difficult to balance on a bike; consequently, I regret not practicing more when I was younger.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion sentence then support it with specific, well-linked details. Avoid vague phrases ("everywhere and anywhere", "I think I observe") and unclear brand mentions unless relevant. Use linking words (for example, moreover) and correct vocabulary ("cycling events", "high-end road bikes"). Finish the sentence fully.

Example: Yes, I believe cycling is quite popular in Indonesia. For example, there are regular cycling events and competitions in many cities, and I often see both casual cyclists and people riding high-end road bikes on main roads, which encourages others to take up cycling as well.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child but it was a tricycle and I have never learned to ride a bicycle until now.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but it was a tricycle and I have never learned to ride a bicycle.

The sentence mixes past simple ('did have') and present perfect in a way that is unnecessary. Use simple past 'had' for possession in childhood. 'Until now' with 'have never learned' is awkward because learning in the past that continues to the present is better expressed without 'until now'; removing 'until now' clarifies meaning. Suggestion: use 'had' for past possession and keep 'have never learned' if you mean up to the present, or change to 'never learned' if referring only to the past.

× I mean like I still struggle to umm learn how to bike in this adolescence age so I guess I should have learned when childhood.

✓ I mean, I still struggle to learn how to ride a bike at this adolescent age, so I guess I should have learned when I was a child.

Multiple tense and word-choice issues: 'adolescence age' is incorrect; use adjective 'adolescent' or phrase 'in adolescence' and 'at this age'. 'Learn how to bike' is colloquial; 'learn to ride a bike' is standard. 'Should have learned when childhood' lacks subject and correct tense—use 'when I was a child'. 'Should have learned' is a past modal perfect expressing regret, which fits, but needs correct time phrase.

× Yes, I think bikes are rather popular in my country, Indonesia, because there are bike biking competitions everywhere and anywhere I think I observe.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, Indonesia, because there are bike-racing competitions everywhere, or at least that's what I observe.

'Rather' is acceptable but 'quite' is more natural here. 'Bike biking competitions' is redundant and ungrammatical; use 'bike-racing competitions' or 'bicycle races'. 'Everywhere and anywhere I think I observe' is awkward; rephrase to 'everywhere, or at least that's what I observe.' This corrects word choice and sentence flow while keeping present-tense observation.

× And also I usually see a bike Specialized Rd. on the road.

✓ I also often see Specialized road bikes on the road.

Original uses improper noun order and abbreviation: 'a bike Specialized Rd.' is incorrect. Specialized is a brand and 'Road' refers to road bike; plural 'bikes' fits 'usually see'. Use 'often' or 'usually' and 'Specialized road bikes' to be clear. This fixes noun order and article/number usage.

× So like, yeah, maybe that encourages people to.

✓ So, maybe that encourages people to ride bikes.

The sentence is incomplete—missing the verb phrase after 'to.' Add 'ride bikes' to complete the infinitive and clarify meaning. Also remove filler words like 'like' and 'yeah' for a more grammatical response.
