Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Pronunciation and grammar need correction and answers should be clearer and more concise. Begin with a direct topic sentence (e.g., "Yes, I did."), then give one or two specific supporting details using correct tense and linking words. Avoid unclear words ("bark") and redundant phrases. Keep to a maximum of 3–4 sentences and use past tense when describing childhood events. For example, say why your father bought the bike and how it helped you, using connectors like "because" or "so" to link ideas.

Example: Yes, I did. My father bought me a bike when I was about seven because he wanted me to learn balance and improve my fitness. As a result, I became more confident riding on roads and enjoyed cycling with friends on weekends.

Suggestion: Improve clarity, word choice and sentence structure. Start with a clear opinion, then give specific reasons and examples, using linking words like "because" and "for example." Correct common collocation errors ("commute to school" not "comment to the schools") and avoid repetition. Keep sentences concise (2–3 sentences).

Example: Yes, definitely. Bicycles are common because many students commute to school by bike, which is cheap and convenient. For example, I often see groups of students cycling together in the mornings, and others use cycling as a sport to stay fit.

× Well, I have a bark.

✓ Well, I had a bike.

The student used the wrong noun 'bark' instead of 'bike' (lexical error) and the tense should match the past context of the question 'Did you have... when you were a child?' so use past simple 'had'. Suggestion: choose the correct word (bike) and ensure tense matches the time frame of the question.

× When I was a kid my father actually bought it for me because he wants me to learn a new skill and develop my physical abilities.

✓ When I was a kid my father actually bought it for me because he wanted me to learn a new skill and develop my physical abilities.

The clause describes a past event (father bought it), so the reason clause must also use past tense. 'He wants' is present-tense third person singular and conflicts with the past context; use 'he wanted'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent in clauses relating to past events.

× I'm really interested in to has to have such a bike.

✓ I was really interested in having such a bike.

After 'interested in' the verb should be in -ing form (gerund): 'having'. Also the tense should be past ('was') to match 'When I was a kid'. 'to has to have' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'interested in' + gerund and keep tense consistent with the time frame.

× Yes, definitely bikes are more popular in my country because many of the students use bikes to comment to the schools and others used to like as a sport to enhance the abilities and develop the the the the the physical skills.

✓ Yes, definitely bikes are popular in my country because many students use bikes to commute to school, and others ride them as a sport to improve their abilities and develop physical skills.

Multiple issues: 'bikes are more popular' implies comparison without a reference; simpler 'bikes are popular' is clearer. 'Many of the students' is awkward—use 'many students'. 'Comment to the schools' is a wrong word and preposition: should be 'commute to school'. 'Used to like as a sport' is incorrect; use 'ride them as a sport' or 'use them for sport'. 'Enhance the abilities' should be 'improve their abilities' and duplicate 'the' removed. Also pronoun/possessive: 'their abilities'. Suggestion: use correct verbs ('commute'), correct noun phrases, correct prepositions, and fix redundant words; ensure subject-verb agreement and clear comparative structures.
