Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear personal answer rather than repeating the question. Start with a topic sentence stating whether you had a bike, then add one or two specific supporting details (age, how often you used it, a memory). Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences. Use simple linking words like “when,” “so,” or “because.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about seven and rode it almost every day after school. Because it had a low frame and training wheels at first, I learned to ride quickly and felt very independent.

Suggestion: Answer directly and expand with specific reasons or examples. Begin with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then explain why (transport, exercise, cost) and give a brief example or comparison. Use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “also.” Keep to 2–4 sentences and use more precise vocabulary (e.g., “common,” “widely used”).

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For example, in cities you can see many bike lanes and shared-bike services, and they are cheaper than cars for daily travel.

× Yes, it is very popular.

✓ Yes, they are very popular.

The question asks about 'bikes' (plural). The student replied with 'it' and 'is', which are singular. This is a subject-verb agreement / number agreement error. Use the plural pronoun 'they' and the plural verb 'are' to match the plural noun 'bikes'. Suggestion: identify the subject number (singular or plural) and ensure the pronoun and verb agree, e.g., 'They are very popular.'
