Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly in the past tense: say “Yes, I had a bike.” Avoid unnatural phrases such as “I have bike,” “I was scheduled in my birthday,” and “I was very joyful.” Use “On my birthday” or “For my birthday,” and add one specific detail about how you used the bike. Also avoid repeating “birthday.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought it for me on my birthday, so it was a very special present. I was thrilled because I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: Give a clear reason using natural vocabulary and accurate meaning. “Nowadays youth” should be “young people nowadays,” and “consider bikes for their injuries” is unclear; you may mean “use bikes for exercise.” Use linking words such as “because” and “as a result,” and provide a specific example, such as commuting, exercising, or avoiding traffic.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. Many people use them for exercise and short journeys because they are affordable and environmentally friendly. In addition, cycling can help people avoid heavy traffic in big cities.

× Yes, I have bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about a past situation: Did you have a bike when you were a child? Therefore, use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have.

× Yes, I have bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The singular countable noun bike needs an article. Use a because you are referring to one nonspecific bike.

× When I was scheduled in my birthday, my father bought it as a present for me on my birthday and I was very joyful at that moment.

✓ When it was my birthday, my father bought it for me as a present, and I was very happy at that moment.

Was scheduled is an incorrect passive construction because a birthday is not something that can schedule the speaker. Use the active and natural expression it was my birthday.

× When I was scheduled in my birthday, my father bought it as a present for me on my birthday and I was very joyful at that moment.

✓ When it was my birthday, my father bought it for me as a present, and I was very happy at that moment.

Use on with a specific day or date, such as on my birthday. Do not use in before my birthday in this context.

× When I was scheduled in my birthday, my father bought it as a present for me on my birthday and I was very joyful at that moment.

✓ When it was my birthday, my father bought it for me as a present, and I was very happy at that moment.

Joyful is grammatically possible, but happy is more natural and common when describing how someone felt in an everyday speaking response.

× Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because nowadays youth consider bikes for their injuries and for their travel purpose.

✓ Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because nowadays young people use bikes for exercise and travel.

The original preposition for does not express the intended purposes clearly. Use for exercise and travel to explain why people use bikes. Also, use bikes for exercise and travel is a more natural grammatical structure than consider bikes for these purposes.

× Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because nowadays youth consider bikes for their injuries and for their travel purpose.

✓ Yes, of course. I think bikes are popular in my country because nowadays young people use bikes for exercise and travel.

The phrase consider bikes for their injuries is not a suitable structure for expressing how people use bikes. Use the structure use + object + for + purpose, as in use bikes for exercise and travel.
