Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly using the past tense: “Yes, I had a bike.” Correct the verb forms and articles: use “had” instead of “have,” “wanted” instead of “want,” and “happy memories” without “a.” Add one specific detail about how you used the bike with your friends. Avoid the unclear phrase “That was our happy.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I wanted one because I could ride it around my neighborhood with my friends. We often went to the park together, so I have many happy memories of those rides.

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly at the beginning and avoid fillers such as “uh” and “I mean.” Use accurate grammar: say “I don’t see many children riding bikes” rather than “I don’t see kid ride bikes.” Explain the contrast with a linking word such as “however” and give a specific reason, such as children spending more time using smartphones indoors.

Example: I don’t think bikes are as popular as they used to be in my country. Many children prefer staying indoors because smartphones and online games are so popular. However, bikes are still common in parks and among people who enjoy exercising.

× So yeah, I have a bike when I was a child because I want to have a happy memories with my friends.

✓ So yeah, I had a bike when I was a child because I wanted to have happy memories with my friends.

The question asks about a past period, so the past-tense forms had and wanted are required instead of have and want.

× So yeah, I have a bike when I was a child because I want to have a happy memories with my friends.

✓ So yeah, I had a bike when I was a child because I wanted to have happy memories with my friends.

Memories is a plural countable noun, so it cannot follow the singular article a. Use happy memories or the singular form a happy memory.

× That was our happy when I was a kid.

✓ That was a happy time for us when I was a kid.

Happy is an adjective and cannot function as the noun after was. Add the noun time to complete the sentence structure. Also, a is needed before the singular countable noun time.

× I think it seems, but uh, based on my perception, I don't see kid ride bikes because they choose to be indoors since people I mean cell phone is popular.

✓ I think it seems so, but, based on my perception, I don't see kids ride bikes because they choose to be indoors since cell phones are popular.

Use the plural noun kids when speaking generally about children. Similarly, use the plural form cell phones when referring to mobile phones in general. Avoid using a singular noun without an article in this general meaning.
