Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons or a short example. Use correct grammar (e.g., "I didn't" and "I didn't like bikes"), plural forms, and avoid repetition. Keep answers under five sentences and use a linking word if you add a reason (e.g., "because" or "so").

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I didn't feel I needed one because my family usually drove everywhere, and the neighbourhood wasn't very bike-friendly. So I never learned to ride.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and an example. Reduce hesitation words (uh) and correct grammar (e.g., "we use cars", "many people like bikes"). Use linking words such as "however" or "but" to contrast ideas. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences).

Example: I don't think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people, including my family, prefer using cars because public roads and distances make driving more convenient; however, cycling is growing in some cities among young people who want to save money and exercise.

× I don't like bike.

✓ I don't like bikes.

The noun 'bike' is a countable singular noun. When speaking generally about a whole category, use the plural form 'bikes' or include an article ('a bike'). Here the sentence expresses a general dislike, so 'bikes' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'I don't like bikes.' or 'I don't like a bike.' depending on meaning.

× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I think it was unnecessary.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I thought it was unnecessary.

The sentence mixes past ('didn't have') with present ('I think'). When explaining a past situation, keep the reason in the past tense: 'thought' matches 'didn't have'. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent by using past tense for reasons about past events.

× Definitely I don't think so because uh, for us to fall in my country is more popular, like just a car, like people and including my family, we are use a car not to bike, but I think there is a lot of uh, people who likes a bike.

✓ Definitely I don't think so because cars are more popular in my country; for example, people in my family use a car rather than a bike, but I think there are a lot of people who like bikes.

Multiple errors corrected: 1) 'for us to fall in my country' is unclear—replaced with 'cars are more popular in my country.' 2) Subject-verb agreement: 'we are use a car' should be 'we use a car' (remove auxiliary 'are'). 3) Article/plural errors: 'a lot of people' is correct but 'people who likes a bike' has agreement error—use 'people who like bikes.' 4) Use plural 'cars' and 'bikes' for general statements. Suggestions: Keep subjects and verbs in agreement (people like), use correct verb forms (we use), and use plurals for general statements (cars, bikes).
