Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Focus on grammar (past tense and subject-verb agreement), pronunciation, and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler words (umm, uh) and correct word choice (bite → bike). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My mother bought it for me when I was six, and I used it sometimes for short rides. However, I usually walked to school because it was close to my home.

Suggestion: Improve accuracy and register: avoid phrases like “we are the poor country.” Use linking words to contrast past and present (e.g., ‘however’, ‘but nowadays’). Use correct verb forms and clearer vocabulary (motorcycles, bicycles). Provide a specific reason or example to support your opinion.

Example: Yes, bicycles used to be very common in my country because many people could not afford motor vehicles. However, nowadays more families can buy motorcycles or cars, so bicycles are less popular, especially in cities.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I were a child, umm, my mother give me a bite when I was 6 and I usually umm, don't use that much because I can go to school by foot, uh.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. My mother gave me a bike when I was six, and I usually didn't use it much because I could go to school on foot.

Multiple subject-verb agreement and tense errors: 'were' should be 'was' to match singular subject I (Grammar problem ID 27 and 6). 'Give' should be past 'gave' because the action happened in the past (Past tense issue, ID 5). 'Bite' is a spelling error; correct word is 'bike' (not listed in the provided types but corrected). 'Don't use that much' should be past 'didn't use it much' to match narrative past (Past tense issue, ID 5). 'Can go to school by foot' is unnatural; use 'could go to school on foot' to match past ability and correct preposition (Present tense/ Past tense and preposition issue, IDs 6/5 and 11). Suggestions: keep past narrative consistently in past tense, ensure subject-verb agreement (I was), use correct verb forms for past events, and use standard preposition 'on foot'.

× Yes, I think that in my country we use a lot of bikes because we are the poor country, but nowadays we are get richer so we just use motorbike more often.

✓ Yes, I think that in my country we use a lot of bikes because we are a poor country, but nowadays we are getting richer so we just use motorbikes more often.

Errors: 'the poor country' should be 'a poor country' (article error, ID 22). 'We are get richer' mixes present continuous and base verb; correct form is 'we are getting richer' (present continuous issue, ID 6 and 4). 'Motorbike' should be plural 'motorbikes' to match 'use more often' (singular/plural issue, ID 1). Suggestions: use correct article 'a' for general statements, form present continuous with 'be + -ing' (are getting), and match noun number to context (motorbikes).
