Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly in the past tense: say whether you had a bike as a child. Avoid confusing phrases such as “I don't have any back,” “at the age of 18 only,” and “get the dryness.” Use “when I was a child,” “people were allowed to ride,” and “a driving licence.” Also, explain the age restriction clearly and use linking words such as “because” or “so.”

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because people in my country can only legally ride one after turning 18 and getting a driving licence. Therefore, I had to rely on public transport or ask my parents for a lift.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and then add specific reasons or examples. Correct “everyone are” to “everyone is” and avoid repeating “bike” and “use.” Replace “for the local transport” with “for local transportation” and reduce fillers such as “uh.” You could mention that bikes are convenient, affordable, and useful for commuting or short trips.

Example: Yes, bikes are extremely popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for everyday travel. Many people use them to commute to work or school, especially for short distances, because they are often quicker than cars in busy traffic.

× No, I don't have any back when I am child because at the age of 18 only we will use the bike and it is the rules restrictions for us.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we could use bikes only from the age of 18, and there were rules restricting us.

The question asks about a past period, so the verbs should be in the past tense: don't have becomes didn't have, am becomes was, and is becomes were. The modal could is also more appropriate than will because the student is describing what was permitted in the past.

× No, I don't have any back when I am child because at the age of 18 only we will use the bike and it is the rules restrictions for us.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we could use bikes only from the age of 18, and there were rules restricting us.

Bike should be plural when referring to bikes generally. Rule should also be plural if referring to several restrictions. The corrected sentence uses bikes and rules to match the intended general meaning.

× No, I don't have any back when I am child because at the age of 18 only we will use the bike and it is the rules restrictions for us.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we could use bikes only from the age of 18, and there were rules restricting us.

The phrase it is the rules restrictions is not a correct there-be structure. Because rules is plural and the situation is in the past, use there were. A natural structure is there were rules restricting us.

× No, I don't have any back when I am child because at the age of 18 only we will use the bike and it is the rules restrictions for us.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because we could use bikes only from the age of 18, and there were rules restricting us.

A singular countable noun needs an article. Use a before bike and a child. However, when speaking about bikes in general, use the plural form bikes without an article.

× After the age of 18 we will get the dryness then we will have the bike.

✓ After the age of 18, we could get a bike, and then we could use it.

The answer describes the rules that applied during the student's childhood, so will get and will have should be changed to the past-oriented modal could get and could use. A comma helps separate the introductory time phrase and the two related clauses.

× After the age of 18 we will get the dryness then we will have the bike.

✓ After the age of 18, we could get a bike, and then we could use it.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a bike when mentioning one bike generally. Use it later to avoid repeating the noun.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country uh, because uh, everyone are using bikes for the local transport uh, for the daily purpose, they will use the bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because everyone uses bikes for local transportation and daily travel.

Everyone is grammatically singular, so it must take uses, not are using, when expressing a general fact. The corrected sentence also avoids unnecessary repetition and presents the general idea clearly.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country uh, because uh, everyone are using bikes for the local transport uh, for the daily purpose, they will use the bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because everyone uses bikes for local transportation and daily travel.

The student is describing a regular habit and a general fact, so the simple present uses is more suitable than the present continuous are using. Use the simple present for repeated activities and permanent or generally true situations.

× Yes, bikes are very popular in our country uh, because uh, everyone are using bikes for the local transport uh, for the daily purpose, they will use the bike.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in our country because everyone uses bikes for local transportation and daily travel.

The preposition for is unnecessary before local transportation and daily travel in this structure. Say use bikes for local transportation or use bikes for daily travel, but do not add the unnecessary article and preposition combination for the local transport.
