Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it. Give a direct yes-or-no response, then add one relevant detail, such as when you learned to ride or where you used your bike.

Example: Yes, I did. I learned to ride a bike when I was about seven, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.

Suggestion: You answer the question and give relevant reasons, but the response contains several fillers and a run-on sentence. Use “bicycles” or “bikes” consistently, correct subject-verb agreement (“they help”), and organize the reasons with linking words. You could also add one specific example and avoid repeating the idea of transportation.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns. They’re an affordable way to get around, and many people use them to commute to work or run errands. Some people also ride them for exercise.

× Knit bikes are very popular in my country as it helps a person to travel from one place to another, it helps in their daily work, and it also helps uh, many people, uh, in their fitness.

✓ Knit bikes are very popular in my country, as they help people travel from one place to another, support their daily work, and improve their fitness.

The subject, 'bikes,' is plural, so the pronoun referring to it should be 'they,' not 'it.' The verb should also be 'help,' not 'helps,' to agree with the plural subject. Use plural 'people' consistently when speaking about people in general.

× Knit bikes are very popular in my country as it helps a person to travel from one place to another, it helps in their daily work, and it also helps uh, many people, uh, in their fitness.

✓ Knit bikes are very popular in my country because they help people travel from one place to another, support their daily work, and improve their fitness.

The original uses a comma to join clauses that could each stand as a complete sentence, creating a comma splice. Combine the ideas into one well-structured clause or separate them with a full stop. Removing the hesitation words also makes the sentence clearer.

× The main uh, purpose of uh, cycle in our country is uh, for the daily transportation for the person who doesn't have any other means of transportation.

✓ The main purpose of a cycle in our country is daily transportation for people who do not have any other means of transportation.

A singular countable noun such as 'cycle' generally needs an article, so use 'a cycle.' The article 'the' is unnecessary before 'daily transportation' when referring to transportation in general. Use 'people' rather than 'the person' for a general statement.
