Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer and grammatical, give a direct topic sentence, then a brief reason or detail. Avoid confusing phrases like "didn't know how to write on it" and keep to one to three sentences. Use linking words for clarity (e.g., "because", "so").

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I never learned how to ride, so my parents didn't buy one for me.

Suggestion: Start with a clear opinion, then give two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "however"). Avoid fragmented phrases and repetition. Be concise and include a brief prediction or wish if relevant.

Example: I would say no, bikes are not very popular in my country because there are few safe bike lanes and little cycling infrastructure. As a result, you rarely see people cycling on the streets, but I hope that will change in the future as cities improve facilities.

× I have never had it back in my life since I didn't know how to write on it so I never tried riding a bike.

✓ I never had one when I was a child because I didn't know how to ride it, so I never tried riding a bike.

The student mixed present perfect 'have never had' with a past time reference 'back in my life' and 'when you were a child', so past simple 'never had' is correct. 'Write on it' is incorrect contextually and should be 'ride it'. Also 'one' is a clearer referent for 'bike'. Use consistent past tense for events in childhood. Suggestions: Use past simple for finished past situations (I never had, I didn't know, I never tried). Replace 'write on it' with 'ride it'.

× Well, I would say no because we don't have and many places to ride a bike so it's rarely seen and someone riding a bike on the streets.

✓ Well, I would say no because we don't have many places to ride a bike, so bikes are rarely seen on the streets.

The original has an extra conjunction 'and' after 'don't have' and an incorrect structure 'it's rarely seen and someone riding a bike'. The quantifier 'many' should directly follow 'have'. Rephrase to a clear subject 'bikes' and passive or general statement 'are rarely seen'. Suggestions: Remove the stray 'and', place 'many places' after 'have', and simplify the second clause to 'so bikes are rarely seen on the streets'.

× So that yeah, I wish in the future there will be more popular riders.

✓ So I hope that in the future there will be more people riding bikes.

The phrase 'I wish in the future there will be' mixes 'wish' with a future clause incorrectly; 'wish' typically pairs with past forms for unlikely changes. 'Hope' is appropriate for realistic future expectations. 'More popular riders' is awkward; use 'more people riding bikes' or 'more cyclists'. Suggestions: Use 'I hope' for realistic future hopes and a clearer noun phrase 'people riding bikes'.
