Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain with a specific reason and one supporting detail. Use correct tense and articles (e.g., “a bike,” “when I was a child”), and avoid unnecessary words. Keep the response to no more than 3–4 short sentences.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. At that time we prioritized essentials like food and school supplies, so a bike wasn’t a priority. Later, I learned to ride other family members’ bikes occasionally.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a clear opinion first, then support it with two concise, specific reasons linked with connectors (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “so”). Correct grammar (plural/singular, articles, word order) and avoid filler sounds like “uh.” Use vocabulary relevant to transport (motorbike, bicycle, fuel, convenient, affordable). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes have become very popular in my country. For example, many students prefer motorbikes because they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to run than cars. Also, rising fuel costs and heavy traffic make motorbikes a more convenient option for daily commuting.

× I did not have a bike when I was child because it is unaffordable.

✓ I did not have a bike when I was a child because it was unaffordable.

Errors: missing definite article before 'child' and tense mismatch in 'is unaffordable'. Type: article errors and past tense. Explanation: Use 'a child' after 'was' requires the indefinite article 'a'. The reason for not having a bike refers to the past, so 'is unaffordable' should be 'was unaffordable' to match past tense. Suggestion: Say 'when I was a child' and 'because it was unaffordable.'

× I would say yes because uh the last decade bike is very popular especially the amount of students because the motorbike is need the fuel.

✓ I would say yes because in the last decade bikes have become very popular, especially among students, because motorbikes need fuel.

Errors: incorrect time expression 'the last decade' needs preposition 'in'; singular 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' to refer generally; 'amount of students' is incorrect collocation—use 'among students' or 'a large number of students'; 'the motorbike is need the fuel' has verb and article errors and wrong verb form. Explanation: Use 'in the last decade' for a time period; use plural when speaking generally; use 'among students' for groups; 'motorbikes need fuel' is the correct present tense with plural subject and base verb. Suggestion: Rephrase as 'in the last decade bikes have become very popular, especially among students, because motorbikes need fuel.'

× That is why we are more people are more reliant on the bike.

✓ That is why more people are reliant on bikes.

Errors: redundant 'we are' plus 'are more' creates ungrammatical repetition and wrong article/number 'the bike' should be plural/general 'bikes'. Explanation: Remove redundancy and use plural to express general reliance: 'more people are reliant on bikes.' Suggestion: Use concise subject-verb order: 'That is why more people are reliant on bikes.'
