Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and precise: use correct articles and tense, avoid unnecessary words, and add one concise supporting detail with a linking word. Also correct slight awkward phrasing (e.g., "hand-me-down", "at night", "so I could"). Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a hand-me-down bicycle when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood at night to practice balancing, and because the streets were quiet I felt safer doing that.

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity: use plural/singular correctly ("bicycles are"), give a clear topic sentence, and add a specific supporting reason using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "therefore"). Avoid vague phrases like "basically."

Example: Yes, bicycles are popular in my country because many roads are narrow, so people often use them for short trips; for example, in my neighborhood most families use bikes to go to the market or school.

× 'I used to ride it around my neighborhood during night so that I can practice my balance.'

✓ 'I used to ride it around my neighborhood at night so that I could practice my balance.'

'used to' correctly indicates past habitual action, so the following clause should use past tense/modal (could) to match time reference. Also, English uses the preposition at with 'night' (at night). Suggestion: change "during night" to "at night" and "can" to "could" to maintain past time consistency.'

× 'Yes, bicycle is popular in our country since the road is not that wide and that is basically the primary mode of transportation around our neighborhood.'

✓ 'Yes, bicycles are popular in our country since the roads are not very wide, and they are basically the primary mode of transportation around our neighborhood.'

'bicycle' should be plural (bicycles) when speaking generally. 'road' should be plural (roads) if referring to roads in general, and verb agreement must match plural subject (are). Replace vague 'that' with 'they' to refer to bicycles. Also use 'not very wide' instead of 'not that wide' for clarity. Ensure subject-verb agreement and consistent plurality.'
