Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is understandable and relevant but has multiple mistakes and unclear phrasing. Keep your response concise, start with a clear topic sentence, correct word choice ("ride" not "write"), and avoid unnecessary repetition. Add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Aim for 2–4 sentences total.

Example: Yes, I did — I loved riding my bike as a child. It was hard at first, and after about a year of practice with my father I became confident riding on my own.

Suggestion: Good attempt to give opinion and reason, but avoid filler words ("well"), fix grammar ("bike lanes"), and use clearer linking words ("because" then a concise reason, or "however" to contrast). Provide a specific example and briefly suggest a consequence or hope. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country because there are few bike lanes or safe routes in cities. As a result, most people prefer cars, though I hope the government will build better cycling infrastructure in the coming years.

× Yes, and I've enjoyed it very much, but it was quite a hard skill to learn and it took me about one year of lessons with my father to learn how to write it on my own.

✓ Yes, I enjoyed it very much, but it was quite a difficult skill to learn and it took me about a year of lessons with my father to learn how to ride it on my own.

Problems addressed: present perfect used incorrectly with a past reference, word choice (write vs ride), adjective choice (hard vs difficult), article and quantifier usage (one year of lessons -> a year of lessons), and sentence structure. Explanation: 'I've enjoyed it' (present perfect) suggests a connection to the present; the question refers to childhood, so simple past 'I enjoyed' is more appropriate. 'Write' is a wrong verb for bicycles; the correct verb is 'ride'. 'Quite a hard skill' is not idiomatic; 'quite a difficult skill' is better. 'About one year of lessons' is wordy; 'about a year of lessons' or 'a year of lessons' is preferred. Suggestion: Use simple past for finished past experiences, choose correct verb collocations (ride a bike), prefer natural adjective choices, and simplify quantifier phrases.

× Well, unfortunately I don't think so, because well there are not so many facilities for riding a bike like a special bikes lanes in the streets and I hope that it will be improved in the future.

✓ Well, unfortunately I don't think so, because there are not many facilities for riding bikes, such as special bike lanes in the streets, and I hope that this will improve in the future.

Problems addressed: awkward repetition of 'well', incorrect word order and plurality ('special bikes lanes' -> 'special bike lanes'), unnecessary 'the' before general streets, incorrect passive future 'it will be improved' and unclear pronoun reference. Explanation: Remove redundant filler words for clarity. Use 'there are not many facilities' (correct existential structure) and 'riding bikes' (general). 'Such as special bike lanes' correctly introduces an example; 'bike' should be singular when used as adjective for 'lanes'. 'I hope that this will improve' is active and clearly refers to the situation; 'it will be improved' implies an unspecified agent improving it. Suggestion: Avoid repeating fillers, use 'such as' for examples, use noun + noun compounds correctly (bike lanes), and use active constructions for hopes about future improvements.
