Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using correct tense and vocabulary. Avoid unclear phrases (e.g. “frequency after traveling was 5 kilometres per hour”) and incomplete endings. Use linking words (for example, “however” or “because”) to connect ideas. Also correct grammar (teenage → my teens; black colour bike → a black Honda bike; sold that bike to my → sold it recently).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. However, when I was in my teens I owned a black Honda motorcycle, which I loved because it was reliable and economical. I rode it regularly until recently, when I sold it because I needed the money for university fees.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and then add one or two specific reasons with linking words. Use natural collocations (e.g. “popular” with “in my country”; “economical” and “easy to use/ride”). Make sentences grammatically correct and avoid repetition. Provide a brief example or comparison to strengthen your answer.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and fuel-efficient. Moreover, they help riders avoid traffic, which makes commuting faster in crowded cities; for example, many delivery workers prefer motorcycles for this reason.

× No, when I was a child I didn't have a bike, but when I was in my teenage I had a black colour bike of the company Honda and its frequency after traveling was 5 kilometres per hour.

✓ No, when I was a child I didn't have a bike, but when I was a teenager I had a black Honda bike, and its speed was about 5 kilometres per hour.

The sentence has several structural and word-choice problems. 'in my teenage' is incorrect: use 'a teenager' (noun) or 'my teens' (noun phrase) instead (Grammar problem type 26). 'black colour bike' is redundant and awkward; use 'black Honda bike' (Grammar problem type 13). 'of the company Honda' is wordy and unnatural; 'Honda bike' is correct (Grammar problem type 26). 'its frequency after traveling was 5 kilometres per hour' is incorrect vocabulary and structure; 'speed' is the correct noun and 'about 5 kilometres per hour' expresses approximate speed (Grammar problem type 26). Suggestion: simplify phrases, choose correct nouns (teenager, speed) and use natural adjective order (brand after color).

× And I really used to love that bike.

✓ And I really used to love that bike.

This sentence is grammatically correct for past habitual action: 'used to love' correctly indicates a past repeated or continual feeling, so no change is needed. However, maintain consistency with surrounding past tense narrative (Grammar problem type 5).

× But recently I sold that bike to my.

✓ But recently I sold that bike.

The phrase 'sold that bike to my' uses an incorrect pronoun and is incomplete. If the speaker intends not to mention the buyer, the verb 'sold' can stand alone with a direct object 'that bike'. To include the buyer, use an object pronoun: 'sold that bike to me' (if speaker bought it) or 'sold that bike to him/her/them' as appropriate (Grammar problem type 12). Also the tense 'recently' with past simple 'sold' is correct.

× Yes, bikes are most popular vehicle in our country because bikes are the most economical for our people here and it's really easy to travel through bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are the most popular vehicles in our country because they are the most economical for people here, and it's really easy to travel by bike.

Multiple agreement and article issues: 'bikes are most popular vehicle' mixes plural subject with singular noun; use plural 'vehicles' or change structure to 'the most popular vehicle' with 'bikes' singularized—here plural 'vehicles' fits (Grammar problem type 27 and 1). Missing definite article before 'most popular'—use 'the most popular' (Grammar problem type 17/22). Repeating 'bikes' is wordy; replace second 'bikes' with pronoun 'they' (Grammar problem type 12). 'for our people here' is wordy; 'for people here' is more natural (Grammar problem type 26). 'travel through bike' is incorrect preposition and noun use; correct form is 'travel by bike' (Grammar problem type 11).
