Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar, tense consistency and remove redundancy. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. In fact, my aunt gave it to me during a family reunion, and I used it to ride to my friend’s house every weekend.

Suggestion: Fix subject–verb agreement and reduce repetition. Give one clear reason with a linking word and a specific detail or example. Keep sentences concise and natural.

Example: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute to work or school. For example, students often ride bikes to save time and avoid traffic.

× I do have a bike when I was a child, as as far as I can remember, I received a bike from my aunt way back during our reunion.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child; as far as I can remember, I received it from my aunt during a family reunion.

The sentence mixes present tense 'do have' with past time reference 'when I was a child' causing tense inconsistency (Present tense issue, ID 6). Use the simple past 'had' to match the past context. Also remove the duplicated word 'as' and replace the vague 'way back during our reunion' with 'during a family reunion' for clarity. Use 'it' to avoid repeating 'bike.' Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent and proofread for duplicated words. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× Yes, bicycle are popular.

✓ Yes, bicycles are popular.

The noun 'bicycle' is singular but the verb phrase 'are popular' requires a plural subject (Subject-verb agreement error, ID 27). Use the plural noun 'bicycles' to agree with the plural verb 'are.' Alternatively, change the verb to 'is' if keeping singular. Grammar problem type ID: 27

× Bicycles are popular here in our country because most of us prefer riding a bike when going when we are going to work or school.

✓ Bicycles are popular in our country because most of us prefer to ride a bike when we go to work or school.

The original sentence has redundancy ('when going when we are going') and awkward verb forms. This is a sentence structure issue (ID 26). Use the infinitive 'to ride' after 'prefer' and simple present 'go' for habitual actions. Remove the duplicated phrase and streamline to 'when we go to work or school.' Grammar problem type ID: 26
