Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and slightly longer (but no more than 5 sentences). Start with a clear topic sentence and add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., when you got the bike, how you used it, or a memory). Use a linking word if you add extra information.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it for my eighth birthday and rode it to school and around the neighborhood almost every day. As a result, I became quite confident cycling and even joined a local kids' cycling group.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and be more specific. Use subject-verb agreement (“bikes are”), and avoid vague statements. Provide one or two concrete reasons or examples (e.g., for commuting, exercise, or traffic). Use linking words such as “because” or “for example.”

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. For example, many people cycle to work or school, and electric bikes have become common in cities to avoid traffic.

× Yes, bikes is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country.

Subject-verb agreement: 'bikes' is plural so the verb should be 'are' rather than 'is'. Use 'are' with plural subjects. Suggestion: Identify whether the subject is singular or plural and choose the matching verb form (singular -> is/was, plural -> are/were).

× Most of the people are using it every day.

✓ Most people use them every day.

Quantifier and pronoun agreement and tense: 'Most of the people' is awkward here; 'most people' is more natural. 'Are using' suggests a continuous action now, but the intended meaning is habitual, so the simple present 'use' is appropriate. Also 'bikes' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'them' not 'it'. Suggestion: For habitual actions use simple present; match pronoun number to its antecedent (plural -> them).
