Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar, accuracy and clarity. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, correct verb forms, and avoid repetition. Use one or two supporting details linked logically (use linking words like because). Keep it concise (max 4–5 short sentences). For example, say you didn’t have a bike, explain why, and add a brief consequence or feeling.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe. As a result, I never learned to ride, and I usually walked or took public transport to visit friends.

Suggestion: Improve grammar, word choice and coherence. Begin with a clear opinion sentence, then add specific supporting reasons using linking words (for example, because, so, and). Use correct comparative forms and more precise vocabulary (e.g., cheaper, common, commuting). Avoid repetition and keep it to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for commuting. They are cheaper than buses and cars, and they often save time in heavy traffic, so many commuters prefer cycling.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asks about having a bike when you were a child (past time). The student used present tense 'don't have' which is incorrect. Use past simple 'didn't' to match the past context. Suggestion: Use past simple verbs when referring to completed past situations (e.g., 'I didn't').

× I don't know how to fight when I was a child as my parents don't allow me to ride a bike as a child, uh, as it was not safe for me.

✓ I didn't know how to ride a bike when I was a child because my parents didn't allow me to; they thought it was not safe for me.

Multiple errors: tense inconsistency and wrong verb 'fight' instead of 'ride'. The sentence mixes present and past ('don't know', 'don't allow') while referring to the past. Change to past simple ('didn't know', 'didn't allow'). Replace incorrect verb 'fight' with 'ride'. Use 'because' for clearer cause and semicolons or separate clauses to improve structure. Suggestion: Keep verbs in the past tense for past situations and choose the correct verb ('ride a bike').

× Yes, I think so. Bike is a popular minoc transportation in my country as many people go to their work on the bike as bike is more cheaper than bus and bike takes less time than the bus and car.

✓ Yes, I think so. Bicycles are a popular means of transportation in my country because many people go to work by bike; bikes are cheaper than buses and take less time than buses or cars.

Several problems: 'Bike is' should be plural 'Bicycles are' to talk generally. 'minoc' is incorrect word; use 'means'. 'Go to their work on the bike' is awkward; use 'go to work by bike'. Comparative 'more cheaper' is redundant; use 'cheaper'. Article use: 'the bus' should be 'buses' for generalization or 'buses or cars'. Ensure consistent plural forms and smoother phrasing. Suggestion: Use plural nouns when speaking generally and correct comparative forms (cheaper, more expensive).
