Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give a clear reason and a brief personal detail. Correct the unnatural phrases: say “couldn’t afford to buy me a bike” instead of “didn’t have money to buy for me a bike,” and “I still don’t know how to ride one” instead of “So I right now I don’t even know.” Use “I’d like to learn” to make your future plan clear.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my family couldn’t afford one. As a result, I never learned how to ride. I’d like to learn someday, though, because cycling seems like a fun way to get around.

Suggestion: Your answer is incomplete, so finish your explanation and avoid repeating or restarting the sentence. State clearly whether bikes are popular, then give a specific reason or example. Use natural phrases such as “rent electric bikes for a short time” and “when the rental period ends.”

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people rent electric bikes through apps because they’re convenient for short journeys. They can use one for a set period and return it when they’re finished.

× We didn't have money to buy for me a bike.

✓ We didn't have money to buy a bike for me.

In this sentence, the thing being bought should come directly after buy. Put the recipient after the object: buy a bike for me. You can also say buy me a bike.

× So I right now I don't even know how to ride a bike, unfortunately.

✓ So right now, I don't even know how to ride a bike, unfortunately.

The subject I is repeated, which makes the sentence structure incorrect. Use I only once. Placing right now after So also makes the sentence easier to follow.

× ...electric bicycles which we can to to book for some time and use them...

✓ ...electric bicycles which we can book for some time and use...

The modal verb can must be followed by the base form of the verb without to, so use can book, not can to book. The repeated to should also be removed.

× ...and when the time is end when

✓ ...and when the time is up...

The phrase is end is not grammatical in this context, and the repeated when leaves the thought unfinished. Use is up to say that the allowed time has finished. The transcript cuts off, so the rest of the sentence cannot be corrected.
