Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, then give one or two concise reasons with linking words. Avoid tense and pronoun errors, repetition and unclear phrases. Use specific detail (for example, what you were afraid of) and keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: No, I didn't have a bike as a child. I was too scared of falling off and getting hurt, so my parents decided not to buy one for me. Later, when I felt more confident at about ten years old, they finally taught me how to ride.

Suggestion: Answer directly, use correct verb forms and clearer linking words to compare past and present. Provide a specific reason or example (e.g., traffic, rise of scooters/cars) and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use vocabulary like 'popular', 'common', 'scooters', 'cars', and a comparative phrase such as 'compared to before'.

Example: I think bikes used to be more popular, but not so much now. With the rise of electric scooters and more families owning cars, I see far fewer bicycles on the streets these days compared to ten years ago.

× No, unfortunately I don't have a bike when I was a child because I used to be scared of riding a bicycle as I would always think that I will for no matter what. So I so my parents, they want to get me one.

✓ No, unfortunately I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I used to be scared of riding a bicycle; I would always think I might fall no matter what. So my parents wanted to get me one.

Mixing present simple (don't have) with past time reference (when I was a child) is incorrect. Use past simple 'didn't have'. 'Would always think' is acceptable for habitual past, but the modal phrase 'I will for no matter what' is ungrammatical; change to 'I might fall no matter what' to express possibility in the past. Also remove the extra words 'So I so' and change 'they want' to past 'wanted' to keep tense consistent. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout when talking about childhood (use didn't have, wanted, might fall).

× So I so my parents, they want to get me one.

✓ So my parents wanted to get me one.

This sentence contains redundant words and mixed tense/person (extra 'I so' and 'they want'). It should be a simple past statement 'my parents wanted' to match the surrounding past-tense narration. Suggestion: remove unnecessary words and ensure verb tense matches the context.

× I would say it used to be popular but now not really since now everyone write like a scooter or they have their own car so I don't really see much bikes nowadays compared to last time.

✓ I would say they used to be popular, but not really now, since everyone rides scooters or has their own car, so I don't see many bikes nowadays compared to before.

Several tense and verb form errors: 'it used to be popular' should refer to 'bikes' plural so use 'they used to be popular.' 'Everyone write' is incorrect; use present simple third-person singular 'rides.' 'They have their own car' is acceptable but change to 'has' when referring to 'everyone' as singular, or rephrase to 'has their own car.' 'Much bikes' is incorrect quantifier; use 'many bikes.' Also simplify 'compared to last time' to 'compared to before.' Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and use correct quantifiers with countable nouns (many bikes), and match plural pronouns appropriately.
