Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, correct minor grammar (use 'violet' as adjective, avoid extra filler), and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a violet bike when I was a child. However, I felt embarrassed because I didn't learn to ride it until I was twelve. Because of that delay, learning to balance and pedal felt quite complicated at first.

Suggestion: Give a clear main opinion sentence, then add concise, specific supporting reasons using linking words and correct phrasing (use 'fewer cyclists' not 'not that much bikers'). Avoid unrelated personal comments unless directly linked.

Example: Yes, bikes are fairly popular in my country, especially among children. However, compared with Amsterdam, Lithuania has fewer cyclists because our hilly terrain and colder winters make cycling less convenient for adults.

× Yes, I did have a bike. It was Violet color, but it is actually a little bit embarrassing for me because I didn't know how to use a bike till I was 12 years old, so it was a bit complicated for me.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike. It was violet in color, but it is actually a little bit embarrassing for me because I didn't know how to ride a bike until I was 12 years old, so it was a bit complicated for me.

Problems: incorrect phrasing 'Violet color' (adjective order/form) and awkward verb choice 'use a bike' (verb + object) and informal 'till'. Corrections: use lowercase 'violet' and the phrase 'violet in color' or simply 'a violet bike'. Use the verb 'ride' with 'bike' (we 'ride a bike', not 'use a bike'). Replace 'till' with 'until' for standard formal usage. Suggestion: say 'It was a violet bike' or 'It was violet in color', 'I didn't know how to ride a bike until I was 12'.

× Yes, I actually do think they're popular, especially for the kids, which is why I was even more embarrassed.

✓ Yes, I actually do think they're popular, especially for kids, which is why I was even more embarrassed.

Problem: unnecessary definite article 'the' before plural noun 'kids' ('for the kids') when speaking generally. Use 'for kids'. This is an article error (22) and affects noun reference. Suggestion: remove 'the' when referring to a general group: 'for kids'.

× But comparing to Amsterdam, Lithuania doesn't have that much bikers because we have a lot of hills.

✓ But compared to Amsterdam, Lithuania doesn't have that many bikers because we have a lot of hills.

Problems: incorrect comparative connector 'comparing to' should be 'compared to' (incorrect conjunction/phrase - 16) and wrong quantifier 'that much bikers' — use 'that many' with countable plural 'bikers' (quantifier error - 14). Correction: 'compared to Amsterdam' and 'that many bikers'. Suggestion: use 'many' with countable nouns and the past participle/phrase 'compared to' for comparisons.
