Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more consistent with tense and give a clear topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “It is fun” and “I enjoy riding it” are similar). Use linking words to connect ideas and correct small grammatical issues: say “I had a green bike” (past) and add a brief reason or memory.

Example: Yes, I had a green bike when I was a child. I enjoyed riding it to school and around my neighborhood because it was lightweight and easy to handle, so I often rode it with my friends after class.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, use correct agreement and more precise vocabulary, and include a specific example or comparison. Replace vague terms like “A4 wheeled vehicle” with clearer words (e.g., cars or four-wheeled vehicles). Use linking words to justify your view.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are inexpensive and convenient. For example, many people prefer bicycles for short trips in crowded cities since they avoid traffic and are cheaper to maintain than cars.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked about a past possession using a yes/no question ('Did you have a bike...'). In English, short affirmative answers to a did-question use the auxiliary did rather than repeating the main verb in past tense. Therefore 'Yes, I had' is unnatural; use 'Yes, I did.' Suggestion: answer short past-tense yes/no questions with 'Yes/No + did/didn't.'

× I actually have a green bike and I enjoy riding it.

✓ I used to have a green bike and I enjoyed riding it.

The question refers to childhood ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. The original sentence uses present tense 'have' and 'enjoy', which conflicts with the time frame. Change to past forms 'used to have' or 'had' and 'enjoyed' to match the past context. Suggestion: align verb tense with the time reference (childhood) by using past tense: 'I used to have a green bike and I enjoyed riding it.'

× It is fun and it is a form of exercise in our country.

✓ It was fun and it was a popular form of exercise in my country.

Again, the time frame is childhood, so present tense 'is' is inappropriate. Also 'a form of exercise in our country' is awkward; 'a popular form of exercise in my country' is clearer and uses correct possessive. Suggestion: match tense to past, use 'my country' rather than 'our country' when speaking generally about popularity, and add 'popular' to clarify meaning.

× Bikes are very popular in our country because it is cheap and it is easier to use than A4 wheeled vehicle.

✓ Bikes are very popular in my country because they are cheap and easier to use than four-wheeled vehicles.

The original sentence has mismatched reference: plural subject 'Bikes' followed by singular 'it is cheap' and 'it is easier', causing subject-verb disagreement and pronoun reference errors. 'It' should be 'they' and verb forms should be plural ('are'). Also 'A4 wheeled vehicle' is incorrect wording; use 'four-wheeled vehicles'. Suggestion: Ensure pronouns agree with their antecedents (plural bikes -> they), match verb number, and use clear noun phrases for comparisons.
