Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Clarify and correct factual errors, use past tense consistently, and make sentences concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid irrelevant or incorrect words (e.g. 'wife' instead of 'bike') and grammar mistakes like word order and tense.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about five and it had training wheels at first. My father taught me to ride it in the park, and although I struggled at the beginning, I practiced for a few weeks and then I could ride without help.

Suggestion: Make your opinion clear and support it with two specific, relevant reasons using linking words. Use more accurate vocabulary and correct sentence structure (e.g. 'costs' not 'cost'). Avoid vague phrasing and awkward constructions; keep responses to a maximum of about 3–4 concise sentences.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular. First, many people use them because they are cheap to run and help save money on fuel and fares. Second, cycling is seen as environmentally friendly, so some cities encourage it by providing bike lanes.

× Yes, I have a wife.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The student answered the question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' but used 'wife' and present tense 'have'. This is an incorrect pronoun/noun and wrong tense for the past context. Use the correct noun 'bike' and past tense 'had' to match the question's past timeframe. Suggestion: refer to the question and keep tense consistent (past).

× I had a wife when I was young, especially in Korea.

✓ I had a bike when I was young, especially in Korea.

The verb 'had' is correct for past tense, but the noun 'wife' is wrong in context; it should be 'bike'. The sentence should maintain past tense and appropriate vocabulary. Suggestion: use relevant vocabulary and keep past tense 'had'.

× Usually started with the three, the paddles, the bike.

✓ Usually I started with a three-wheeled bike and pedals.

The original lacks a clear subject and has incorrect nouns ('paddles' instead of 'pedals') and word order. Add the subject 'I', use 'started with' plus a clearer object 'a three-wheeled bike' and correct 'pedals'. Suggestion: include an explicit subject and use correct technical terms.

× But my father taught me how can I ride the bike in the park.

✓ But my father taught me how to ride the bike in the park.

The structure 'taught me how can I ride' is incorrect. After 'teach someone how' use the base form with 'to': 'taught me how to ride'. This fixes verb-complement structure error. Suggestion: use 'teach someone how to + verb' pattern.

× At the very first time it was really hard, but eventually I can do that.

✓ At first it was really hard, but eventually I could do it.

The time reference is past ('at first', 'eventually'), so the modal 'can' should be the past form 'could'. Also 'do that' is vague; 'do it' refers to riding the bike. Suggestion: match modal tense to past time and use clear pronoun reference.

× Yes, definitely, because most of people want to save their cost in during their coming time.

✓ Yes, definitely, because most people want to save money for the future.

'Most of people' is incorrect; use 'most people' (quantifier usage). 'Save their cost' is unnatural; use 'save money'. 'In during their coming time' is ungrammatical; use 'for the future'. Suggestion: use standard expressions: 'most people', 'save money', 'for the future'.

× So we have the transportation and public cars or whatever they can drive for their commuting, but the bicycle is most efficiently way to save their money and save the earth, so it is.

✓ So we have public transport and cars or whatever people use for commuting, but bicycles are the most efficient way to save money and protect the Earth.

Multiple issues: 'the transportation' should be 'public transport' or 'transportation' without 'the'; 'public cars' is incorrect for 'cars' in general; 'for their commuting' should be 'for commuting' (preposition error); 'the bicycle is most efficiently way' has article and adjective/adverb errors — should be 'bicycles are the most efficient way'; 'save their money' -> 'save money'; 'save the earth' -> 'protect the Earth'. Also subject-verb agreement: plural 'bicycles are'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('for commuting'), correct articles, plural/singular agreement, and standard collocations ('protect the Earth', 'save money').
