Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and concise: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and word choice mistakes (e.g., 'had a bike', 'I really enjoyed riding'). Avoid filler words and keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got a tiny balance bike at three, and then a bigger bicycle with training wheels at ten. I used to ride it every day after school with my friend, so I became quite confident at cycling.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then support with specific reasons and a linking word. Use correct grammar and more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'popular', 'drive cars', 'cyclists', 'bike lanes'). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and avoid informal fillers like 'you know'.

Example: Bikes used to be more popular in my country, but less so now because more people drive cars. In addition, there are few dedicated bike lanes in Thailand, which makes cycling dangerous for many riders.

× I have to bike actually want, uh, one like, uh, when I was three years old.

✓ I had a bike when I was three years old.

The speaker is referring to a past possession, so the past simple tense 'had' is required instead of the present 'have to' and the fragmented phrase 'actually want' is incorrect here. Suggestion: Use a clear past-simple clause for past possession: 'I had a bike when I was three.'

× It's very small buy but another one when I was 10 years old.

✓ It was very small, but I got another one when I was ten years old.

Mismatch and confusion: 'It's' (it is) is present tense while speaker refers to past; 'buy' is likely a misspelling of 'by' or 'but' and sentence lacks a main verb. Also 'another one' needs a verb like 'got' to indicate acquisition. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistency and include the past action verb: 'It was very small, but I got another one when I was ten.'

× I used to ride them every day after school with my friend.

✓ I used to ride it every day after school with my friend.

If the speaker is referring to a single bike ('a bike' earlier), the pronoun should be singular 'it' rather than plural 'them'. This is a subject-pronoun agreement issue. Suggestion: Match pronoun number to the noun: 'a bike' -> 'it'; if referring to multiple bikes, ensure plural noun earlier.

× I really happy to write.

✓ I was really happy to ride.

The sentence lacks the copula 'was' for past description and has the wrong verb 'write' instead of 'ride'. The correct past adjectival structure is 'was happy' plus infinitive or gerund as needed. Suggestion: Use 'was happy to ride' or 'was really happy riding'.

× Before yes, but now there is no anymore because people nowadays they tend to be drive a car more than drive the bike.

✓ They were popular before, but now they are not anymore because people nowadays tend to drive cars more than ride bikes.

Multiple tense and form errors: 'Before yes' is informal and unclear; 'there is no anymore' is ungrammatical—need 'are not anymore' for plural 'bikes'; 'tend to be drive' is incorrect; use 'tend to drive'; 'a car' vs plural should match general statement 'cars' and 'the bike' should be 'bikes' or 'ride bikes'. Suggestion: Use consistent present tense for current general facts and correct verb forms: 'tend to drive cars more than ride bikes.'

× And you know like in Thailand we don't have roads for bike to ride.

✓ In Thailand, we don't have roads for bikes to ride on.

Preposition placement is incorrect and article/plural needed: 'roads for bike to ride' should be 'roads for bikes to ride on' or 'bike lanes'. Also plural 'bikes' matches general statement. Suggestion: Use 'roads for bikes to ride on' or better 'bike lanes'.

× It's very dangerous for biker as well.

✓ It's very dangerous for bikers as well.

Use plural noun 'bikers' to refer to people in general rather than singular 'biker'. Also keep 'It's' present tense which matches general statement. Suggestion: Use plural when making general statements: 'for bikers'.
