Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and use correct tense and articles. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then add one or two concise supporting details. Use past simple for childhood facts and avoid contradictions (bike vs bicycle). Connect ideas with a linking phrase and keep to at most 3–4 short sentences.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but I did have a bicycle that I rode often. For example, I used to cycle with my siblings and friends every weekend, which became a habit I still enjoy. However, my parents sometimes discouraged me from going far on my own.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion first, then provide clear, specific reasons using correct grammar and linking words. Use plural/singular and articles correctly (e.g., 'a convenient form of transport'). Provide one or two concrete benefits or an example to support your view.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient form of transport. For instance, many people use bicycles for short commutes to work or the market, which saves money and reduces traffic congestion.

× Well, when I was a child I don't have a bike but I have a bicycle and I usually ride it with my friends and my siblings in my free time because it's my habit nowadays too and love bicycling but my parents didn't allow me to.

✓ When I was a child I didn't have a bike but I had a bicycle, and I usually rode it with my friends and siblings in my free time because it was my habit and I loved bicycling, but my parents didn't allow me to go far.

The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. The question asks about childhood (past), so verbs should be in the past tense: 'don't have' -> 'didn't have', 'have' -> 'had', 'usually ride' -> 'usually rode', 'love' -> 'loved'. Also clarify 'go far' to reflect parental restriction. Improve coherence by using past tense consistently and adding commas to separate clauses. Suggested improvement: identify the time frame (childhood) and ensure all verbs match past tense; use commas to separate ideas.

× Yes, I think that bikes are very popular in my country and because it's a very easy and transportation system for the people and everyone that don't owns a car also.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they are a very easy means of transportation for people, including everyone who doesn't own a car.

Pronoun and agreement issues: 'it's' refers to singular but 'bikes' is plural, so use 'they are'. 'a very easy and transportation system' is incorrect word order and missing noun: use 'a very easy means of transportation'. 'everyone that don't owns a car' has wrong pronoun and verb agreement: use 'who doesn't own a car'. Improve clarity by matching number and using correct relative pronoun and verb forms. Suggested improvement: match subject number with verbs/pronouns (plural->they/are), use 'who' for people, and use base form after auxiliary 'doesn't'.

× So I think that bikes are usually popular and have some benefits too.

✓ So I think that bikes are popular and have several benefits.

The phrase 'are usually popular' is awkward; popularity is typically stated as 'are popular'. 'Some benefits too' is informal; use 'have several benefits' for clarity. This revises sentence structure for natural phrasing and conciseness. Suggested improvement: prefer concise, natural collocations ('are popular', 'have benefits') and avoid redundant modifiers like 'usually' when unnecessary.
