Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct, grammatically correct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (past tense), then briefly add a specific detail. Use correct verb forms and avoid repetition. For example, say whether you had a bike, how old you were, and one detail about it (color, how often you used it, or why you couldn't ride).

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small red bicycle that my parents bought for me when I was six, but I never learned to ride because I was afraid of falling.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion, then support it with one or two specific reasons or examples. Use linking words (for example, because, and, therefore) and correct vocabulary (people who ride). Avoid filler words and repetition. Mention where bikes are popular (cities, countryside) or why (cheap, healthy).

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities bicycles are common for commuting and in rural areas people use them to go to markets.

× Yes, I have yes I have a bike but I don't know how I bicycle

✓ Yes, I had a bike, but I didn't know how to ride it

The student is speaking about childhood, so past tense should be used (Grammar problem type ID 6: Present tense issue and ID 5: Past tense issue). The original sentence also misuses 'have' (present) and 'bicycle' as a verb/noun incorrectly. Use 'had' for past possession and 'didn't know how to ride it' to express inability in the past. Suggestion: Use past simple for actions and states in the past and use 'ride' as the correct verb for using a bicycle.

× Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country Um Um and there are many there are many people who writes

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in our country, and there are many people who ride them

The sentence contains several issues: subject-verb agreement ('writes' is incorrect) and wrong verb choice ('write' instead of 'ride') and repetition. The main grammar types here are ID 27 Subject-verb agreement and ID 8 Verb + -ing form is not needed; also ID 26 sentence structure. Correct verb is 'ride' (base form) to agree with plural subject 'people', and use object pronoun 'them' to refer to 'bikes'. Suggestion: Use 'people who ride them' or 'people who ride bikes' and remove repetitions; ensure verb agrees with plural subject.
