Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and use correct tense and clearer details. Start with a topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., past tense: had; articles; remove repetition). Also keep it concise (no more than 5 sentences).

Example: Yes, I did. I had two bikes when I was growing up: a small, simple one I used to ride to primary school and a newer, larger, more expensive bike I got in junior high. The smaller bike was light and easy to handle, while the bigger one was faster and more comfortable for longer rides.

Suggestion: Answer directly, use natural sentence structure and linking words to explain reasons or comparisons. Use plural/singular agreement and prepositions correctly (e.g., 'many people ride bikes', 'to the office or to school'). Add one specific reason or example to support your view.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people ride bikes every morning to the office or to school because it is cheap and convenient, and traffic is often heavy. For example, children often cycle to school while adults tend to use public transport or cars for longer commutes.

× I have two bikes.

✓ I had two bikes.

The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the past simple tense is required. 'Have' here should be in past form 'had'. Use past tense to match the time reference. Suggestion: Use past simple ('had') when describing possession in the past.

× When I was a child one was on my primary school and the the other one was new and big and much expensive when I was in junior high school.

✓ When I was a child, one was from my primary school and the other was new, big, and much more expensive when I was in junior high school.

Multiple issues: unclear preposition and article usage and comparative wording. 'On my primary school' is incorrect preposition; 'from my primary school' or 'during primary school' is appropriate. Duplicate 'the the' is an error. 'Much expensive' is ungrammatical; use 'much more expensive' or 'far more expensive'. Also add commas for clarity and keep past tense consistent. Suggestion: Use correct prepositions ('from' or 'during'), remove duplicate words, and use comparative form 'more expensive' with modifiers like 'much' or 'far' preceding 'more'.

× Of course there are many people ride bikes every day in the morning to office or school.

✓ Of course, many people ride bikes every morning to work or school.

Incorrect sentence structure and missing comma; 'there are many people ride' is wrong—use either 'there are many people who ride' or simply 'many people ride'. 'In the morning' combined with 'every day' is redundant; 'every morning' is clearer. Use 'to work' instead of 'to office'. Suggestion: Use correct clause structure ('many people who ride' or 'many people ride'), avoid redundant time expressions, and use 'work' for 'office' when speaking generally.

× I think children ride bikes more than adults.

✓ I think children ride bikes more often than adults do.

The original sentence is understandable but sounds incomplete; adding 'often' clarifies the intended comparison and adding 'do' avoids ambiguity. This maintains correct subject-verb agreement and improves clarity. Suggestion: Add adverb 'often' and auxiliary 'do' to complete the comparison structure.
