Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly and use the past tense consistently: say “I had” and “it became mine.” Explain the sequence clearly, and avoid repeated phrases and fillers such as “um” and “then.”

Example: Yes, I had a bike as a child. It originally belonged to my brother, but he gave it to me when he got a new one. I was happy to have a bike of my own.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion, then support it with a natural, specific example. Use “which is called” for the bike and include an article in “a really fast bike.” Avoid repeating your opinion at the end; you could explain why people like cycling instead.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are becoming popular in Kazakhstan, especially among young people. A few of my friends ride fixed-gear bikes because they are fast and easy to use around the city. Cycling is also a convenient way to get around when the weather is good.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I were a ch when I was a child, but unfortunately it was my um brother's first bike then when he then when he bought his second the first becomes mine so um yes

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child, but unfortunately, it was my brother's first bike. When he bought his second bike, the first became mine.

The subject I takes was, not were, in the past tense. Match the verb to its subject by checking who or what is performing the action.

× Yes, I did have a bike when I were a ch when I was a child, but unfortunately it was my um brother's first bike then when he then when he bought his second the first becomes mine so um yes

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child, but unfortunately, it was my brother's first bike. When he bought his second bike, the first became mine.

The story describes events in the past, so becomes should be changed to became. Keep the tense consistent when describing past events.

× For example, I have some friends who have a popular bike who which is called Fix.

✓ For example, I have some friends who have a popular bike which is called Fix.

Use which, not who, to refer to a thing such as a bike. Use who when referring to people.

× It is really fast bike.

✓ It is a really fast bike.

A singular countable noun such as bike generally needs an article. Add a before really fast bike.
