Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, then add one or two specific details. Avoid repetition and unnatural phrases such as “approximately around an age of 6,” “entertainment purpose purpose,” and “as well as to be specific.” Use the past tense consistently and explain where or how often you rode your bike. A concise answer of three sentences would sound more natural and effective.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was about six years old. My dad bought it for me as a birthday present, and I loved riding it around my neighborhood with my friends. We usually went cycling in the park at weekends.

Suggestion: Give a complete answer because the response ends abruptly. Also, use natural grammar: say “bikes aren’t as popular as they were when I was younger,” “people tend to spend their time,” and “on social media.” Clearly compare the past and present, and support your opinion with a specific example or a balanced contrast. Use linking words such as “because,” “however,” or “although” to organize the answer.

Example: I don’t think bikes are as popular as they were when I was younger. These days, many people, especially teenagers, spend more of their free time on social media or chatting online. However, bikes are still quite common among children and people who use them for exercise or commuting.

× I think I had a bike umm, approximately around an age of 6.

✓ I think I had a bike at approximately the age of six.

The preposition at is used when referring to a specific age. The phrase around an age is not grammatically appropriate here.

× My dad bought me for umm, entertainment purpose purpose.

✓ My dad bought me a bike for entertainment purposes.

The verb bought needs a direct object. The sentence should state what your father bought you: a bike.

× My dad bought me for umm, entertainment purpose purpose.

✓ My dad bought me a bike for entertainment purposes.

The expression for entertainment purposes normally uses the plural noun purposes because it refers generally to the reasons for the activity.

× I really enjoy riding my bike, cycling around my city with my friends and as well as to be specific.

✓ I really enjoyed riding my bike and cycling around my city with my friends.

The question asks about your childhood, so the activities should be described in the past tense. Enjoy changes to enjoyed.

× I really enjoy riding my bike, cycling around my city with my friends and as well as to be specific.

✓ I really enjoyed riding my bike and cycling around my city with my friends.

The phrase and as well as to be specific is incorrectly connected and makes the sentence awkward and structurally incomplete. Use one clear conjunction, such as and, to connect the activities.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

The noun bikes is plural, so it should be referred to with they, not it. The pronoun they also makes the comparison with bikes clear.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

The comparison should be between the current popularity of bikes and their past popularity. Therefore, use as popular as they were in my day.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

Modern world refers to a specific, commonly recognized period, so it should be preceded by the definite article the.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

People tend is the correct structure. Are cannot be placed before tend because tend is already the main verb of the clause.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

Time is generally used as an uncountable noun when referring to the amount of time people spend doing something. Therefore, use spend their time, not spend their times.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

The usual preposition with social media is on, as in spend time on social media, rather than through social media.

× I don't think it's as popular as back in my days because here's the thing in modern world people are tend to enjoy spending their times through social media and also chatting around the world through platforms.

✓ I don't think bikes are as popular as they were in my day because, in the modern world, people tend to spend their time on social media and chat with people around the world through online platforms.

The phrase around the world requires the definite article the because it refers to the world as a unique place.

× However, while younger generations now have also

✓ However, younger generations also do so now.

While introduces a dependent clause and normally needs a main clause to complete the sentence. Here, use However to introduce a complete contrasting sentence.

× However, while younger generations now have also

✓ However, younger generations also do so now.

The original statement is incomplete because have also is not followed by a necessary complement. The revised sentence has a complete subject, verb phrase, and reference to the previous activity.
