Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct tense and simpler, accurate phrases (e.g., “I didn’t have a bike...” not “they are not allowing me”). Avoid filler words like “You know.” Also link sentences with words such as “so” or “because” correctly. Keep the answer within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents were quite strict and discouraged me from going out alone, so I usually walked to school. Because of that, I never asked them for a bike.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion then support it with specific reasons and an example. Use accurate vocabulary (“bikes are very convenient” not “far away convenient”) and finish your thought—avoid leaving sentences incomplete. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “also.” Keep it concise (2–4 sentences).

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. They are cheap to run and can often get through traffic faster than cars, so many people use them for short commutes. For example, I see lots of delivery drivers and students riding bikes in my city.

× You know, because my parents were strict at that time, they are not allowing me outside.

✓ You know, because my parents were strict at that time, they did not allow me to go outside.

Problems: (1) Present tense 'are not allowing' conflicts with 'at that time' (past). This is a present/past tense error (IDs 6 and 5). (2) Verb pattern: 'allow someone to do something' requires infinitive 'to go' (ID 8/9). Correction uses simple past 'did not allow' and proper verb pattern 'allow me to go outside'. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed past situations and use 'allow someone to do something'. Examiner context: 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' asks about the past, so keep past tense.

× Even now for school. I go by walk.

✓ Even now, for school I walk.

Problems: Fragment 'Even now for school.' is not a complete sentence (ID 23) and 'go by walk' is incorrect collocation/verb phrase (ID 8/11). Use the verb 'walk' or the phrase 'go on foot'. Correction combines into one complete sentence 'Even now, for school I walk.' Suggestion: Use 'I walk' or 'I go on foot' to describe travelling by walking.

× I was going by walk, so it's difficult for me to ask for.

✓ I used to walk, so it was difficult for me to ask for one.

Problems: 'was going by walk' is ungrammatical: wrong progressive and collocation (IDs 6 and 8). 'It's difficult for me to ask for' mixes present with past context and lacks an object (IDs 6 and 26). Correction: 'I used to walk' expresses habitual past; 'so it was difficult for me to ask for one' keeps past tense and supplies the object 'one' (a bike). Suggestion: Maintain consistent past tense when talking about past habits and include the object being requested.

× Yes, definitely. Bikes are far away convenient for people to use them and we can reach our destination as soon as possible because of bi convenience.

✓ Yes, definitely. Bikes are very convenient for people to use, and we can reach our destinations quickly because of their convenience.

Problems: 'far away convenient' is incorrect adjective use (ID 13) and wrong collocation; 'use them' is redundant after 'people to use' and 'bi convenience' appears to be typo (ID 26 and 11). Also number agreement: 'destination' should be plural if speaking generally. Correction: 'very convenient' and 'reach our destinations quickly because of their convenience' correct adjective/adverb choice, pronoun reference ('their'), and plurality. Suggestion: Use 'very convenient' or 'more convenient' and ensure pronouns clearly refer to the noun.

× Even though there

✓ Even though there are many bikes, ...

Problems: Incomplete sentence/fragment (ID 23). 'Even though there' lacks a clause to complete the concessive idea. Correction provides a plausible completion: 'Even though there are many bikes, ...' Suggestion: Always finish 'even though' clauses with a main clause; maintain correct 'there are' for plural (ID 3 and 1).
