Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise, use correct tense and avoid filler words and repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then give one or two specific supporting details (age, who gave it, how you used it). Use linking words like "when" or "so" to connect ideas. Pronunciation of numbers and simple grammar must be accurate.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My parents bought it for me when I was three, and I used to ride it every day around the neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give clear, specific reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid repetitions and fix word order errors. Use phrases like "one reason is", "also", or "for example". Provide one concrete example (e.g., bike-sharing schemes in cities) and a brief explanation of why that increases popularity.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. One reason is that many people own bicycles for short trips, and also bike-sharing services have become common in cities, which makes cycling more convenient for commuting and running errands.

× Yes, I have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the verb should be in the past tense. Use 'had' to indicate past possession. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time reference in the question (past).

× Umm, when I was this three years ago, my parents bought bought it for me.

✓ Umm, when I was three years old, my parents bought it for me.

Errors: incorrect time expression and a repeated word. Use 'three years old' to describe age (not 'this three years ago'), and remove the duplicated 'bought'. Also maintain past tense 'bought' because the action happened in the past. Suggestion: say 'when I was three years old' for clarity and correct age expression.

× Yes, I think so.

✓ Yes, I think so.

No change needed. The present tense 'think' is appropriate because the examiner asked a general opinion about current popularity.

× It's because a lot of people on their own bike.

✓ It's because a lot of people ride their own bikes.

The original uses incorrect preposition structure 'on their own bike' and singular 'bike' after 'a lot of people'. Use the verb 'ride' to show the action and plural 'bikes' to agree with the plural subject. Suggestion: use 'ride their own bikes' for natural English.

× Furthermore, nowadays, especially in urban areas are there are there are rental bikes bike service around.

✓ Furthermore, nowadays, especially in urban areas, there are rental bike services available.

The original has repeated fragments ('are there are there are') and word duplication ('bike service bike'), and poor word order. Use correct existential construction 'there are' once, plural 'services' to match general availability, and place the time/place phrase properly. Suggestion: simplify to 'there are rental bike services available' with commas around the introductory phrase.
