Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and organize your response more clearly. Correct the grammar in “when I was ten year old” to “when I was ten years old” and “gave a gift me” to “gave me a bicycle as a gift.” Avoid repeating “bike brand” and give one or two specific details about the bicycle, such as its color or how often you used it. Although the answer is only one sentence, it contains several ideas joined together without clear linking words.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was ten years old, my father gave me a bicycle as a gift. It was a blue mountain bike, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood after school. I still enjoy cycling, and I currently own two bikes.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Correct “my country president ride” to “the president of my country rides” and use the singular form “a bicycle” when referring to going to school. Explain popularity with more natural and specific reasons, such as reducing traffic, saving money, or providing exercise. Use linking words such as “because,” “also,” and “as a result” to connect your ideas smoothly.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. This is because cycling is inexpensive, healthy, and a good way to avoid traffic jams. The president also sometimes rides a bicycle, which has made cycling more visible and popular. I often ride my bicycle to school, and I find it both enjoyable and convenient.

× Yes, of course when I was ten year old my father gave a gift me a bicycle and nowadays I have two bikes especially Demix and my favorite brand bike bike brand is Demix.

✓ Yes, of course. When I was ten years old, my father gave me a bicycle. Nowadays, I have two bikes, especially a Demix. My favorite bike brand is Demix.

The phrase ten years old requires the plural noun years because it refers to ten years. Use the plural form after numbers greater than one. Also, use years old rather than year old in this expression.

× Yes, of course when I was ten year old my father gave a gift me a bicycle and nowadays I have two bikes especially Demix and my favorite brand bike bike brand is Demix.

✓ Yes, of course. When I was ten years old, my father gave me a bicycle. Nowadays, I have two bikes, especially a Demix. My favorite bike brand is Demix.

The verb give follows the structure give someone something, so gave me a bicycle is correct, not gave a gift me a bicycle. The original answer also combines several complete ideas without clear sentence boundaries and repeats bike brand. Separate the ideas into complete, clear sentences.

× Yes, of course because my country president ride a bike and for me riding a bike is important in my country.

✓ Yes, of course, because my country's president rides a bike, and for me, riding a bike is important in my country.

The subject the president is third-person singular, so the present-tense verb must be rides, not ride. In the present simple, add -s or -es to the verb when the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun.

× Yes, of course because my country president ride a bike and for me riding a bike is important in my country.

✓ Yes, of course, because my country's president rides a bike, and for me, riding a bike is important in my country.

Use the possessive form my country's president to show that the president belongs to the country. The phrase my country president is not the standard noun structure in English.

× Nowadays I'm going to school with bicycles and for me it is very enjoyable.

✓ Nowadays, I go to school by bicycle, and for me, it is very enjoyable.

Use by bicycle to describe the means of transportation. With bicycles usually means that you are accompanied by bicycles, not that bicycles are your mode of transport. Also, go is more natural than am going for a regular activity.

× Nowadays I'm going to school with bicycles and for me it is very enjoyable.

✓ Nowadays, I go to school by bicycle, and for me, it is very enjoyable.

For a regular or habitual activity, use the present simple go rather than the present continuous am going. The present continuous is generally used for an action happening now or around the current period.
