Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct, grammatically correct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question (e.g., “No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.”). Then give one or two specific supporting details using correct tense and linking words (for example, “because” or “so”). Avoid filler words and incorrect vocabulary (e.g., use “ride” not “write,” and use past tense “didn’t have,” “didn’t allow”). Keep your answer to no more than 4–5 sentences.

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. My parents didn't allow me to ride one because they thought it was too dangerous. For example, there were busy roads near our house and they were worried I might get into an accident. So I only learned to cycle later, when I was older.

Suggestion: Give a clear, complete answer and support it with specific reasons and an example. Begin with a direct topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, bikes are very popular in my city.”). Use linking words like “because,” “so,” or “for example” to structure your supporting details. Avoid repetition and pause fillers; complete your final sentence to finish the thought. Use a varied vocabulary (e.g., “congested traffic,” “commute,” “motor vehicles”).

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my city because traffic is often congested and bikes allow people to get around more quickly. For example, commuters can weave through narrow gaps and reach work faster than by car or bus. As a result, many people prefer bicycles for short trips and daily commuting.

× Buy clear. That's an interesting question.

✓ By the way, that's an interesting question.

The student likely intended the phrase 'By the way' but wrote 'Buy clear', which is incorrect vocabulary and spelling and creates an ungrammatical phrase. Use 'By the way' to introduce a comment related to the question. Suggestion: Learn common discourse markers and practice their spelling and pronunciation.

× No, I don't have bike when I was child because, uh, you know that in childhood my parents don't allow me to write to ride a bike because it's too much dangerous for me.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because, you know, in my childhood my parents didn't allow me to ride a bike because it was too dangerous for me.

Multiple tense and article errors: 'don't have' is present but context is past, so use 'didn't have' (past). 'bike' needs the indefinite article 'a'. 'when I was child' requires 'a child' or 'a child' and better 'when I was a child'. 'my parents don't allow me' should be past 'didn't allow me'. 'write to ride' is wrong; remove 'write to'. 'too much dangerous' is incorrect adjective modifier order; use 'too dangerous' or 'very dangerous'. Suggestion: Match past narrative with past tense verbs, include articles before singular countable nouns, and avoid inserting unrelated words.

× They maybe there's any accident can happen.

✓ They thought there might be an accident.

This sentence mixes modal/auxiliary forms and word order improperly. 'They maybe there's any accident can happen' is ungrammatical. Use 'they thought there might be an accident' or 'an accident could happen.' Suggestion: Use correct modal verbs and word order: subject + verb + modal + base verb or 'there might be' + noun.

× So that's why.

✓ So that's why they didn't let me ride.

'So that's why' is a fragment; it needs a full clause or be combined with the previous sentence. Provide what 'that's why' refers to for clarity. Suggestion: Avoid sentence fragments by completing the idea.

× Yeah, bikes are most popular in my city because, uh, because of traffic, there is too much rush of cars and buses and other other vehicles.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my city because of traffic; there is a heavy rush of cars, buses, and other vehicles.

'Most popular' may be acceptable but context suggests general statement: 'are very popular' or 'are among the most popular' is clearer. 'too much rush' is unnatural — use 'a heavy rush' or 'heavy traffic'. 'other other' is repetition. Suggestion: Use natural collocations like 'heavy traffic' and avoid repeating words.

× So bike is easy to pass through that rush and the traffic.

✓ So bikes easily pass through that rush and the traffic.

Singular/plural mismatch and adverb placement: 'So bike is easy to pass' should be plural 'bikes' and verb phrasing 'easily pass through' is correct; 'the traffic' is fine but 'that rush' is awkward—'the rush' or 'traffic' suffices. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement with countable nouns and use adverbs before main verbs ('easily pass').

× So people, uh, most people.

✓ So most people use bikes.

Fragment and missing verb: 'So people, uh, most people.' is incomplete. Add a verb to complete the idea, e.g., 'most people use bikes' or 'most people prefer them.' Suggestion: Always include a verb to form a complete sentence and clearly state the action or preference.
