Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and slightly more detailed while staying concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and add one brief supporting detail (reason or memory) using a linking word. Avoid redundant phrasing like “back then.”

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was six years old, and I learned to ride it in the park near our house. Because my parents encouraged outdoor play, I practiced every afternoon until I felt confident.

Suggestion: Make sentences more natural and precise, use correct articles and verb forms, and add a linking word to connect your supporting detail. Be specific with examples and avoid vague phrases like “not that far.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines because they are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances. For example, many office workers and market vendors cycle to work to avoid traffic and save on transport costs.

× I remember I was six years old back then when I start.

✓ I remember I was six years old back then when I started.

The sentence refers to a past event, so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Start' is present tense; use the past tense 'started' to match 'remember' + past time reference. Suggestion: use past forms for actions completed in the past (e.g., 'I started').

× Bikes are popular in the Philippines.

✓ Bikes are popular in the Philippines.

This sentence is grammatically correct; it uses the present tense appropriately to state a general fact. No correction needed.

× It is because it is one of the most commonly used as transportation.

✓ This is because they are one of the most commonly used forms of transportation.

The original has errors with articles and noun forms. 'It is because it is one of the most commonly used as transportation' misuses 'it' and omits the noun after 'used'. Use 'this' to refer to the idea just expressed, plural 'they' to match 'bikes', and 'forms of transportation' as the correct noun phrase. Also 'one of the most commonly used' must be followed by a noun, so add 'forms of transportation'.

× People who work not that far from their home use bike because it will lessen congestion in the road.

✓ People who work not that far from their homes use bikes because they help lessen congestion on the road.

Multiple pronoun and number issues: 'their home' should be pluralized to 'their homes' to match 'people'. 'Use bike' needs plural 'bikes'. 'It will lessen' uses singular 'it' incorrectly; 'they' (bikes) or 'they help' is better. 'In the road' should be 'on the road'. Also using present simple 'use' and 'help' expresses a general truth. Suggestion: ensure agreement between subject and pronouns and correct preposition use (on the road).
