Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear about tense and give a direct topic sentence that answers the question, then add one or two specific supporting details. Use past tense for childhood. Avoid contradictory phrases like "I don't" and "back when I was a child."

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I grew up in a small apartment and my parents thought cycling on busy streets was unsafe, so I learned to ride much later when I was a teenager.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use clear vocabulary. Say whether you think bikes are popular, then give specific reasons or examples linked with connectors (because, therefore, for example). Avoid unclear words like "previous" here.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, cities have added bike lanes recently, and I often see students and delivery workers cycling during the day.

× No, I don't, but back when I was a child.

✓ No, I didn't, but I had one when I was a child.

The examiner asked about possession in the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the response should use past tense. 'I don't' is present tense and incorrect here. Use 'I didn't' for the negative past auxiliary and 'I had one when I was a child' to state past possession. Also the original sentence is incomplete ('but back when I was a child' lacks a main clause), so add a clause to complete the thought. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× In my view, previous bikes are popular in my country.

✓ In my view, bicycles are very popular in my country.

The word 'previous' is incorrect here; it means 'earlier' or 'prior' and does not fit the intended meaning. Use the noun 'bicycles' (or 'bikes') and modify with 'very' or omit adjective if not needed. Also 'in my view' is acceptable but ensure noun form is correct. This fixes word choice and makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct. Grammar problem type ID: 13
