Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with tense and add a brief reason or detail. Use past tense for childhood and expand slightly (1–3 additional short details). Keep it natural and concise.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents preferred me to walk to school, and there wasn’t enough space at home to store one.

Suggestion: Correct subject-verb agreement and make the answer more specific with examples and linking words. Keep it within 2–4 sentences and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. For example, many men and women cycle for fitness and leisure, and there are weekend group rides in most cities, so cycling has become a common hobby.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The question asks about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. 'Don't have' is present tense; change to 'didn't have' to match the time frame. Suggestion: Use past simple ('didn't have') when referring to possession in the past.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country, especially for men who likes to do cycling or those people who likes to ride bikes as a hobby.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country, especially for men who like to cycle or those people who like to ride bikes as a hobby.

The relative clause subject 'men' is plural, so the verb should be 'like' not 'likes' (subject-verb agreement). Also use parallel and more natural verb forms: 'like to cycle' or 'like to ride bikes'. Suggestion: Ensure verbs agree with their subjects in number (plural subjects take base verb form without -s).
