Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce repetition, start with a clear topic sentence, and add one specific supporting detail. Keep it natural and under five sentences. Use linking words (e.g., "and", "so", "which") to connect ideas and avoid repeating words like "neighborhood" twice.

Example: Yes, my father bought me a small red bike when I was six, and I rode it all over our neighborhood. It was my main way to visit friends and run small errands for my parents, so I became quite confident riding on quiet streets. Riding also kept me active and helped me relax after school.

Suggestion: Correct repetitions and unclear phrases, give a direct topic sentence, then one or two specific reasons with examples. Use clear linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "for example") and avoid nonsensical fragments such as "can be rude, it can be ride within."

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and cheap to maintain. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or school in crowded cities since parking is difficult and petrol is expensive, so cycling is a practical alternative.

× When I was a child, I had a bike my dad bought for me.

✓ When I was a child, I had a bike that my dad bought for me.

Missing relative pronoun 'that' (or 'which') to link the noun 'bike' with the clause 'my dad bought for me'. Add 'that' to form a correct relative clause. This keeps past tense consistent.

× I used the bike around the neighborhood neighborhood.

✓ I used the bike around the neighborhood.

The sentence contains a duplicated word 'neighborhood' which is a typographical repetition. Remove the extra word to correct the sentence structure.

× It was so pleasant for me to ride it around the streets of my neighborhood and it was a form of exercise for me to keep my body and mind.

✓ It was so pleasant to ride it around the streets of my neighborhood, and it was a form of exercise that helped keep my body and mind healthy.

Awkward phrasing and redundancy: 'for me' is unnecessary. Use 'helped keep' to show past result; add 'healthy' to complete the meaning. Use a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses for clarity.

× Well I think using using bike as a means of transport is very common in the place where I come from because cars are much more expensive and very hard to maintain compared to bikes.

✓ Well, I think using a bike as a means of transport is very common in the place where I come from because cars are much more expensive and harder to maintain compared to bikes.

Repeated word 'using' should appear once. Use the article 'a' before 'bike' (article error). 'Very hard to maintain' is awkward; use comparative 'harder to maintain' to match the comparative context. Add a comma after 'Well' for natural speech punctuation.

× And the bike bike can be rude, it can be ride within.

✓ And the bike can be ridden, and it is easy to use in town.

Original sentence has duplicated 'bike' and ungrammatical fragments: 'can be rude' is incorrect word choice, and 'can be ride within' mixes forms. Use passive past participle 'ridden' for 'can be ridden'. Replace unclear idea with 'it is easy to use in town' to convey intended meaning. Ensure parallel structure with two clauses joined by 'and'.
