Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and use correct past tense. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.”), then give one or two concise specific reasons using past tense and linking words (e.g. “because I found them difficult to control”). Avoid repetition and fix grammatical errors (don’t mix present and past tense; use ‘tried it’ not ‘tried I’).

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I found them difficult to control. I tried riding once, but I couldn’t balance well, so I stopped practicing.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a clear, specific reason with correct grammar and linking words. For example: “Not really; bicycles aren’t very popular where I live because most people prefer motorbikes or cars.” Add a supporting detail about your observation and use past or present tense consistently.

Example: Not really; bicycles aren’t very popular in my country because most people prefer motorbikes or cars for commuting. For example, when I was in high school, my classmates usually went out by motorbike or played indoor sports instead of cycling.

× No, I don't have back when I was a child because I felt these are very difficult.

✓ No, I didn't have one when I was a child because I felt they were very difficult.

Errors: incorrect present-tense 'don't have' used for past time frame (should be past: 'didn't have'); missing object for 'have' (a bike) — use 'one' or 'a bike'; 'these' is incorrect reference to a singular/specific thing — use 'they' for plural (bikes) or 'it' for singular; 'are' should match past time frame 'were'. Suggestion: Use past tense consistently when talking about childhood (didn't have, felt, were) and include the noun or a suitable pronoun ('a bike' or 'one').

× I don't know how to ride the bike and control the directions.

✓ I didn't know how to ride a bike or control its direction.

Errors: tense mismatch — speaker refers to past childhood so use past tense 'didn't know' not 'don't know'; article and noun form — 'the bike' implies a specific bike; 'a bike' is more natural. 'Control the directions' is unidiomatic; use 'control its direction' or 'steer' instead. Suggestion: Use past tense and natural collocations ('ride a bike', 'steer' or 'control its direction').

× I have tried I but I think it's challenge for me.

✓ I tried, but I thought it was a challenge for me.

Errors: incorrect present perfect 'have tried' mixed with immediate clause; extra pronoun 'I' after 'tried' is unnecessary; tense inconsistency — speaker refers to past experience so use past simple 'tried' and 'thought' and past 'was'; article missing before 'challenge' — should be 'a challenge'. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistent, remove redundant pronouns, and include articles where needed ('a challenge').

× Not really, I don't think bikes are popular in my country because when was a high school my classmate often played the badminton or someone else.

✓ Not really. I don't think bikes are popular in my country because when I was in high school my classmates often played badminton or did other activities.

Errors: tense and structure — 'when was a high school' is missing subject and preposition; use 'when I was in high school'; 'classmate' should be plural 'classmates' if referring to classmates in general; article 'the' before 'badminton' is unnecessary in this context; 'played the badminton' incorrect; 'or someone else' is vague and ungrammatical — use 'or did other activities'. Suggestion: Use correct time clause 'when I was in high school', match singular/plural as appropriate, and use natural phrases ('played badminton', 'did other activities').
