Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence then add one or two specific supporting details and finish the thought. Avoid trailing off and unnecessary fillers. Use linking words (for example, because, so, and) to make your answer coherent. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and include a brief description or example of what you did with the bikes.

Example: Yes, I did. I owned two bikes when I was a child, and I loved riding them around my village because we lived in the countryside with quiet roads. For example, my friends and I would cycle to the river every weekend to fish or have picnics, which made those years very memorable.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, then give concise reasons and a brief comparison. Reduce hesitations and repetition (avoid "uh/umm/which is"). Use linking words like however or although for comparisons and give a specific example or recent trend to support your point.

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are becoming more popular in my country, although they are still less common than in China. For instance, many cities in Russia have recently introduced bike lanes and public bike-sharing schemes, which has encouraged more young people to cycle to work or university.

× I had two bikes and it was a lovely time for me because I was living in the countryside and I used to.

✓ I had two bikes, and it was a lovely time for me because I lived in the countryside and used to ride them.

The original sentence ends abruptly with 'I used to' leaving the verb missing, which makes the sentence incomplete (sentence structure error). Also 'I was living' is acceptable but simple past 'I lived' better fits the narrative of a past habit. Suggested correction completes the thought by supplying the missing verb 'ride' and uses parallel past tense. To improve: always complete 'used to' with the base verb and keep consistent past tense for past habits. '} ,{
