Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and finish your idea. Use the past tense consistently: “bought,” not “buys.” The phrase “the essential wheel in the side of the back wheel” is unclear; say “training wheels.” Avoid repeating “small bicycle” and “small bike,” and add one specific detail about how often you used it or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was three, my father bought me a small bicycle with training wheels. I used to ride it around our neighborhood, and he gradually helped me learn to balance without them.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion at the beginning, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular.” Then explain how their popularity has changed. Use correct verb tenses and avoid fillers and repetition such as “like,” “just like,” and “in my childhood.” Include a specific comparison between children in the past and children today.

Example: Yes, bikes are still fairly popular in my country, especially among children. When I was young, parents often taught their children to ride because it was a fun and inexpensive activity. However, nowadays, many children spend more time on smartphones and computers, so cycling may be less common than it was in the past.

× When I was three years old, my father buys me a small bicycle, a small bike with the essential wheel in the side of the back wheel.

✓ When I was three years old, my father bought me a small bicycle, a small bike with the essential wheel in the side of the back wheel.

The sentence describes an event that happened when the student was three years old, so the past-tense form bought is required instead of the present-tense form buys.

× When I was three years old, my father buys me a small bicycle, a small bike with the essential wheel in the side of the back wheel.

✓ When I was three years old, my father bought me a small bicycle, a small bike with essential wheels in the side of the back wheel.

The phrase refers to more than one supporting wheel, so wheel should be plural: wheels. The plural noun should also be used without the singular article the.

× When I was three years old, my father buys me a small bicycle, a small bike with the essential wheel in the side of the back wheel.

✓ When I was three years old, my father bought me a small bicycle, a small bike with essential wheels on the sides of the back wheel.

On is more appropriate than in when describing the position of something attached to or located beside another object. The preposition should clearly show the wheels' position.

× And after that, when I was in the kindergarten, so like 7 years old, my father.

✓ After that, when I was in kindergarten, at about seven years old, my father taught me how to ride it.

Kindergarten is generally used without the definite article when referring to the stage of education. Therefore, in kindergarten is correct, not in the kindergarten.

× And after that, when I was in the kindergarten, so like 7 years old, my father.

✓ After that, when I was in kindergarten, at about seven years old, my father taught me how to ride it.

The original sentence ends with my father and does not contain a complete main verb or complete idea. Add a verb, such as taught, to make the sentence grammatically complete.

× Back then when I was a child it is because like that's how parents teach it's a fun thing that children used to do in my childhood but maybe now is not really just like a normal thing.

✓ Back then, when I was a child, it was because parents taught their children that cycling was fun, and it was something children used to do. However, it may not be as common now.

The answer refers to a past period, so is and teach should be changed to the past-tense forms was and taught. The phrase used to do already correctly expresses a past habit.

× Back then when I was a child it is because like that's how parents teach it's a fun thing that children used to do in my childhood but maybe now is not really just like a normal thing.

✓ Back then, when I was a child, it was popular because parents taught their children that cycling was fun, and it was something children used to do. However, it may not be as common now.

The original answer joins several incomplete and loosely connected clauses without clear sentence boundaries. Use commas and conjunctions appropriately, and separate the contrasting idea about the present into a new sentence.
