Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Réponse: Améliorez la structure et la fluidité. Commencez par une phrase directe puis donnez une brève raison. Évitez la répétition («because» deux fois). Ajoutez un détail spécifique (par exemple, un incident ou la raison précise des parents) et limitez-vous à 2–3 phrases. Utilisez un lien logique si vous ajoutez une seconde idée.

Example: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. My parents thought cycling was too dangerous after a neighbour had an accident, so they preferred I travel by car.

Suggestion: Réponse: Rendez la réponse plus claire et organisée. Débutez par une réponse directe, puis donnez 1–2 supporting details précis (par exemple: infrastructure, culture, weather). Évitez hésitations et répétitions; utilisez des mots de liaison comme «because» ou «therefore» pour la cohérence. Conservez maximum 3 phrases.

Example: Not really. Because we have wide roads and reliable car transport, most people prefer driving, so cycling is uncommon in my city.

× No, because my parents wouldn't buy me a bike because it's very dangerous.

✓ No, because my parents wouldn't buy me a bike since they thought it was very dangerous.

The sentence uses a modal verb 'wouldn't' to describe past habitual refusal; this is acceptable but the clause 'because it's very dangerous' mixes present tense with a past context. Change 'it's' to 'they thought it was' to match past viewpoint and clarify reason. Also replace the second 'because' with 'since' to avoid repetition and improve style. Suggestions: keep tense consistency (use past tense when reporting past beliefs) and avoid repeating 'because'. Grammar problem type ID: 4

× Not really, because we have big roads and we don't have uh, yeah. We have, uh, the, the space. So mostly the people, uh, ride in cars rather than, uh, bikes.

✓ Not really, because we have large roads and plenty of space, so most people travel by car rather than by bike.

This response contains awkward phrasing and small tense/word choice issues. Use 'large roads' or 'wide roads' and 'plenty of space' for clarity. Change 'we don't have uh, yeah. We have, uh, the, the space' to a single coherent clause. 'Mostly the people' is unnatural; use 'most people'. Use 'travel by car rather than by bike' for correct collocation. Suggestions: avoid filler words, use natural collocations ('most people', 'travel by car'), and maintain present simple for general statements. Grammar problem type ID: 6
