Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then describe one or two specific features. Use the past tense consistently: change “has” to “had.” “Blue-colored” and “yellow stripes along the edges” sound more natural than “blue colored” and “yellow strips on the border.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was blue with yellow stripes along the edges, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and support it with a clear reason or example. Avoid repeating “cheap,” and use the plural form “buses and trains.” Also, “much cheaper” should compare bikes with other forms of transport, rather than calling them “expensive travel options.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They are an affordable and convenient way to travel short distances, and they can help people avoid traffic.

× It was a blue colored bike which has yellow strips on the border.

✓ It was a blue-colored bike that had yellow strips along the border.

The sentence describes a bike the student had in childhood, so the relative clause should also use the past tense: had, not has. Use a hyphen in the compound adjective blue-colored. Along the border is a more natural preposition here.

× It is very much cheaper than the other expensive travel options like bus and trains.

✓ They are much cheaper than other travel options, such as buses and trains.

The sentence refers to bikes, which is plural, so use they are rather than it is. They is the correct pronoun for a plural noun. Also, buses should be plural to match trains in the list.

× So it is very good and cheap.

✓ So they are very good and cheap.

This sentence continues to refer to bikes, so use the plural pronoun they and the plural verb are. Keep the pronoun consistent with the plural noun bikes.
