Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise, accurate and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid filler sounds (“uh”) and incomplete sentences. Also correct grammar (past tense and plural forms) and finish your ideas.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. However, because I had two brothers and sisters, we had to take turns, so I usually rode it in the late afternoon after homework. As a result, I became quite good at riding in a short time.

Suggestion: Answer directly, correct pronunciation/word choice, and provide specific reasons with linking words. Use complete sentences and avoid trailing off. Mention examples or statistics if possible (e.g., bike-share schemes, short trips).

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country. For example, most cities have bike-share schemes, which are convenient and inexpensive, so people often use them for short trips to work or shops instead of taking buses or trains.

× Uh, we have three siblings, so we had to manage the time to ride the bike.

✓ Uh, we have three siblings, so we had to manage time to ride the bike.

The phrase 'manage the time' is unnatural here; 'manage time' (no article) is the correct collocation when speaking about allocating or sharing time in general. Use 'manage time' to indicate handling limited time among people.

× Once we we ride a bike, we need to make sure that.

✓ Once we rode a bike, we needed to make sure of a few things.

The speaker is describing past habitual action, so the simple past 'rode' and 'needed' are appropriate. Also the original sentence is incomplete; 'make sure that' must be followed by an object or clause, so provide 'of a few things' to complete the thought.

× Yes, I think BY is popular in my country.

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

'BY' appears to be a typo or incorrect pronoun. The intended noun is 'bikes' (plural). Use the correct noun to match meaning and allow subject-verb agreement.

× We do share bicycle in each city, which is like save money, save time.

✓ We have shared bicycles in each city, which helps save money and time.

'Share bicycle' is ungrammatical; use 'shared bicycles' (plural) or 'bicycle-sharing systems'. Also 'which is like save money, save time' is informal and ungrammatical; use 'which helps save money and time' to express purpose/result. 'Helps' agrees with singular 'which' referring to the system.

× You don't need to go the far away place to take a train or take a express and.

✓ You don't need to go to a faraway place to take a train or an express train.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'go'. 'Far away' should be the compound adjective 'faraway' before 'place' or 'a far away place' with hyphenation; better 'a faraway place'. Also 'take a express' is incorrect article and noun form: use 'an express train'. The original sentence also ends abruptly; the correction completes the idea.
