Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then explain when you got the bike and describe one clear feature. Use the past tense for a childhood memory: say “It was a birthday present” rather than “the bike is my birthday gift.” Correct the unclear phrase “four real” and avoid repeating “child”; for example, say “It had training wheels” if that is what you mean.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for my eighth birthday, and it was a small bike with training wheels. I enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and support it with a specific reason or example. Use “bikes” or “bicycles” to agree with “many people,” and say “exercise” rather than “a exercise.” Bikes provide exercise or a healthy way to travel, not a “healthy diet.” Link your ideas with a phrase such as “For example” or “As a result.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them to work or use them for exercise, especially in cities with bike lanes. They are an affordable and healthy way to get around.

× Yes, the bike is my 8 years old birthday gift that purchased by my dad.

✓ Yes, the bike was a gift for my eighth birthday that was purchased by my dad.

The question asks about your childhood, so use the past-tense was rather than is. The correction also puts the birthday phrase into a natural form; a gift received on a birthday is a gift for that birthday.

× Yes, the bike is my 8 years old birthday gift that purchased by my dad.

✓ Yes, the bike was a gift for my eighth birthday that was purchased by my dad.

A passive verb needs a form of be before the past participle. Add was before purchased to form was purchased.

× It has four real eh, that is different from an adult bicycle because it is for a child bicycle.

✓ It had four wheels and was different from an adult bicycle because it was designed for a child.

The answer describes a bicycle from your childhood, so use past-tense verbs such as had and was. Four wheels is a likely intended phrase; the transcript's real eh appears to be a speech or transcription disfluency.

× It has four real eh, that is different from an adult bicycle because it is for a child bicycle.

✓ It had four wheels and was different from an adult bicycle because it was designed for a child.

The phrase for a child bicycle has an incorrect word order. Use designed for a child or a bicycle for a child to express that the bicycle was intended for a child.

× Yes. Many people ride their bike, go to work, go for a healthy life and go for a exercise daily. It is a healthy diet for people.

✓ Yes. Many people ride their bikes, go to work, go for a healthy life and go for an exercise daily. It is a healthy diet for people.

Many people refers to multiple people, so bikes is the usual plural form when referring to the bicycles they ride. A singular bike can sometimes be used distributively, but bikes is clearer here.

× Yes. Many people ride their bike, go to work, go for a healthy life and go for a exercise daily. It is a healthy diet for people.

✓ Yes. Many people ride their bikes, go to work, go for a healthy life and go for an exercise daily. It is a healthy diet for people.

Use an rather than a before exercise because exercise begins with a vowel sound.
