Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use correct tense, word choice and provide a brief explanation. Start with a direct topic sentence in past tense, avoid confusion between 'bike' and 'motorbike', and add one or two supporting details with linking words. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 3–4 sentences).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. Although many of my friends owned bicycles, my family couldn't afford one, so I usually walked to school. As a result, I became very used to walking rather than cycling.

Suggestion: Be more specific and add supporting details with linking words to explain why they are popular (or not). Use varied vocabulary and give examples or reasons such as cost, traffic, environment, or culture. Keep the response concise and coherent (2–4 sentences).

Example: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because they are cheap and convenient for short trips. Moreover, many cities have dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes, so more people choose them to avoid traffic and reduce pollution.

× No, I don't have any motorbike when I was child.

✓ No, I didn't have a motorbike when I was a child.

Grammar problem type ID: 5 and 26. The student mixes present simple ('don't have') with a past time expression ('when I was child'), which is incorrect. The action of having/not having the bike refers to the past, so the past simple auxiliary 'didn't' plus the base verb 'have' must be used. Also 'motorbike' should be preceded by an article 'a' because it is a singular countable noun. Additionally, 'when I was child' is missing the article 'a'. Suggestion: Use past simple consistently for past events ('I didn't have'), include the indefinite article for singular countable nouns ('a motorbike'), and add 'a' before 'child' ('when I was a child').

× In my opinion, bikes are very popular in my country.

✓ In my opinion, bikes are very popular in my country.

Grammar problem type ID: 6. This sentence is grammatically correct: it uses present simple appropriately to describe a general truth or ongoing situation. No correction is necessary. Suggestion: Keep present simple for general facts and opinions about current situations.
