Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Start with a clear topic sentence answering directly (e.g., "Yes, I did" or "No, I didn't"), then add 1–2 brief supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "but"). Keep answers natural and within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels because my parents wanted me to learn balance safely. As a result, I became confident riding on quiet streets by the age of six.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, then use linking words and specific details. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and be concise. Mention reasons and contrast with clear linking words like "however" or "in contrast". Limit to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, bicycles are popular in some provinces, but they are less common in big cities. In rural areas many people use bikes for short trips and farm work; however, in cities most people prefer cars or public transport due to traffic and safety concerns.

× Yes, it is popular in some of the provinces, but for the cities is it is not popular.

✓ Yes, they are popular in some provinces, but in cities they are not popular.

The sentence has subject-verb agreement and pronoun/reference issues. 'Bikes' is plural, so use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are' (Grammar Problem Type ID 27). Also word order and extra words: 'for the cities is it is not popular' is ungrammatical; correct to 'in cities they are not popular' (Sentence structure issues relate but the primary issue is subject-verb agreement). Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs/pronouns ('bikes' -> 'they are'), remove unnecessary articles ('some provinces' not 'some of the provinces' unless referring to specific provinces), and place the clause in normal order ('in cities they are not popular').
