Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and use correct tense and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct common grammar errors (use past tense consistently, plural/singular agreement) and avoid filler sounds (uh, um).

Example: Yes. My father gave me a bicycle when I was a child. It was a regular two-wheeled bike rather than a small four-wheeled training bike. After I received it, I practised every day until I could ride confidently without help.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion first, then support it with clear, specific reasons and examples. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, clearer noun references). Remove fillers and repeat yourself less.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular in the UAE. For example, there are organised cycling events and races throughout the year, which encourages many people to cycle for sport and recreation. Because of these events and improved cycling paths, more residents choose biking as a healthy activity.

× Actually, my father gives me a gift that I would like.

✓ Actually, my father gave me a gift that I really liked.

The sentence refers to a past event (when the student was a child), so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Gives' is present tense; use 'gave'. Also change 'would like' to 'really liked' to match past time and natural phrasing. Suggestion: use past tense verbs consistently when talking about past events.

× It wasn't a small bicycle that have four wheels.

✓ It wasn't a small bicycle; it had four wheels.

There is a subject-verb agreement/number mismatch: 'bicycle' is singular, so the verb should be 'had', not 'have'. Also the phrasing 'wasn't a small bicycle that had four wheels' is awkward; clearer to separate clauses or use 'it had four wheels'. Suggestion: match verb number to singular noun and use clearer clause structure.

× And after I, I tried to ride the bicycle, I uh, tried to handle the thing that in the bicycle so I could, uh, make the bicycle.

✓ After that, I tried to ride the bicycle and learn to control it so I could ride it properly.

The original sentence is fragmented and uses unclear phrases ('handle the thing that in the bicycle', 'make the bicycle'). This is a sentence structure issue: run-on fragments and unclear object references. Rephrase with clear verbs: 'learn to control it' and 'ride it properly'. Suggestion: combine related actions with 'and' and use precise verbs for intended meaning.

× Yes. I do I think that uh the UAE have uh sporting uh race like uh for the runners and for the bicycles or it's like uh.

✓ Yes, I think that the UAE has sporting races for runners and for cyclists.

The speaker uses present tense but has a subject-verb agreement error: 'UAE' (singular entity) requires 'has', not 'have'. Also 'for the bicycles' is awkward; use 'for cyclists'. Suggestion: use 'has' with singular country names and use the noun form for people (cyclists) rather than objects (bicycles).

× It makes the people that who wants uh to ride the bicycles uh when the champ for the uh this.

✓ It encourages people who want to ride bicycles when there is a championship or event.

The original has incorrect pronoun and relative clause usage: 'that who' is redundant and 'wants' does not agree with the plural antecedent 'people' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'the champ for the uh this' is unclear. Rephrase to 'people who want' (plural subject with plural verb) and clarify 'championship or event'. Suggestion: use 'people who want' and ensure verb number matches the subject; replace vague words with 'championship' or 'event'.
