Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and clear: start with a concise topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid filler words (umm) and incorrect tenses. Use past tense for childhood and link ideas with a short connector.

Example: Yes, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Bikes were uncommon where I grew up, so I usually walked to school with my friends. Because distances were short and my family couldn’t afford a bike, walking was the normal choice.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give specific reasons and use linking words for coherence. Correct grammar (plural/singular, articles) and avoid vague phrases like "bike is on." Keep to a maximum of five sentences.

Example: Not really; bikes are not very popular where I live. Most people prefer cars or public transport because distances are long and roads are not very bike-friendly. For example, many neighborhoods lack bike lanes, so people feel safer using trains or cars.

× Now I didn't umm bike is unpopular at that time I went to school on foot.

✓ No, I didn't. Bikes were unpopular at that time, so I went to school on foot.

The original mixes present 'Now' with past context and omits necessary punctuation and auxiliary verbs. Use 'No, I didn't' to answer the question about the past. 'Bikes were unpopular' uses past tense to match 'when you were a child'. Add 'so' to connect reason and result. Also pluralize 'bike' to 'bikes' for general reference.

× Not really. So bike is on. It's quite uncommon where I live. People own cars, some people come into by train.

✓ Not really. Bikes are not common. It's quite uncommon where I live. People own cars, and some people come by train.

Several issues: 'bike is on' is ungrammatical; use 'Bikes are not common' to state a general present fact (present simple plural). Keep 'It's quite uncommon where I live' as is with minor punctuation. 'Some people come into by train' is incorrect preposition use and extra word 'into'; correct is 'come by train'. Add 'and' to connect independent clauses properly.
