Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer shorter, more natural and directly address the question with one clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect tense consistency. Focus on concise phrasing and vary vocabulary (e.g., use "couldn't afford" instead of "was not able to afford").

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my family couldn’t afford one. However, I really wanted one and sometimes borrowed a neighbour’s bike to ride around the neighbourhood.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific, linked reasons using linking words (e.g., "because" and "for example"). Improve natural phrasing (e.g., "easy to use" → "practical") and avoid repeating phrases like "in my country." Add a short example or result to make the answer more concrete.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because cities are crowded and many streets are narrow. For example, commuters often choose motorcycles or scooters since they’re quicker in traffic and cheaper to run.

× I did not have any bike when I was a child because I do not belong to a very wealthy family and my father was not able to afford the bike, though I was always keen to have one, but at my childhood time I did not have.

✓ I did not have a bike when I was a child because my family was not very wealthy and my father could not afford one, though I was always keen to have one.

Errors: inconsistent tense use and awkward phrasing. 'I did not have any bike' — use 'a bike' with countable noun (Singular and plural issue) and avoid 'any' in affirmative past statement; 'I do not belong to a very wealthy family' mixes present with past context — use past 'my family was not very wealthy'; 'was not able to afford the bike' is wordy — use 'could not afford one'. Also remove redundant 'but at my childhood time I did not have.' Suggestion: keep past tense consistently, use natural collocations ('my family was not very wealthy', 'could not afford one'), and avoid repetition by removing duplicate clauses.

× Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because in my country the population is quite high and the roads are quite narrow, so people prefer travelling by bike because it is convenient and easy in use.

✓ Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because the population is high and the roads are narrow, so people prefer travelling by bike because it is convenient and easy to use.

Errors: redundant prepositional phrase 'in my country' repeated; 'easy in use' is incorrect collocation — correct form is 'easy to use'. Also unnecessary intensifiers 'quite' repeated. Suggestion: remove repetition, use natural adjective order, and correct prepositional/collocation use ('easy to use').
