Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and use correct phrases. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct the odd word choices ("afraid of burning" → likely "afraid of falling"), and give one or two brief supporting details with linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I was afraid of falling and couldn't balance well, so I avoided learning. Also, my parents didn't encourage me to practise, so I never really gained confidence.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use accurate vocabulary. Begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "for example"). Correct collocations ("popular for cycling" not "popular in riding a fight") and improve grammar and word choice for clarity.

Example: Yes, bicycles are very popular in Korea because they are a convenient and inexpensive way to travel short distances. For example, many people use bikes to commute to work or school on bike lanes in the city.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was afraid of burning and couldn't run to ride it.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I was afraid of falling and couldn't learn to ride it.

The student intended to say they were afraid of falling (not burning) and therefore could not learn to ride. 'Burning' is a wrong word choice (lexical error) and 'couldn't run to ride it' is incorrect phrasing. Use 'learn to ride' to express acquiring the skill. Keep past tense consistently ('was', 'didn't have', 'was afraid', 'couldn't learn'). Suggestion: replace 'burning' with 'falling' and 'couldn't run to ride it' with 'couldn't learn to ride it.'

× My parents never pushed me to try so I never really practiced.

✓ My parents never pushed me to try, so I never really practiced.

This sentence needs a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' linking two independent clauses. Also tense and meaning are fine, but punctuation affects clarity. Suggestion: add a comma to separate clauses. Ensure 'practiced' is past tense consistent with context.

× Of course, my country Korea is popular in riding a fight because bike is convenient and umm and convenient and inexpensive transportation.

✓ Of course, in my country, Korea, cycling is popular because bikes are convenient and inexpensive forms of transportation.

Multiple issues: word choice and noun singular/plural. 'Riding a fight' is incorrect; use 'cycling' or 'riding bikes.' 'Bike is' should be plural 'bikes are' when speaking generally. 'Transportation' should be plural or 'a form of transportation'—here 'forms of transportation' fits. Also add commas around 'Korea' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'cycling is popular' and 'bikes are convenient and inexpensive forms of transportation.'

× So many population like this.

✓ So many people like this.

'Population' is a mass noun referring to the whole group and not countable in this context; 'many' requires a countable noun, so use 'people.' Also word order 'like this' is vague; better: 'Many people like that.' Suggestion: replace 'population' with 'people' and consider clarifying 'like this' to 'do that' or 'prefer cycling' depending on intended meaning.
