Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly using the past tense, and correct the subject–verb and pronoun errors: say “I didn’t have a bike” and “my cousin had one.” Use “bike,” not “bite,” and describe the outing naturally as “go for a bike ride.” Keep the supporting detail, but use consistent past-tense verbs and avoid fillers and repetition.

Example: I didn’t have a bike when I was a child, but my cousin did. Whenever we went cycling together, I would borrow their bike. We often rode along a path by the sea, which was beautiful, and I really enjoyed those trips.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and gives a reason, but make the location phrase more natural: say “I live in Hong Kong, China” or simply “I live in Hong Kong.” Use “at weekends” or “on weekends,” and avoid repeating “start.” Clarify who rides the bikes, and use specific details to explain how families use them.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular where I live in Hong Kong. At weekends, many families take their children to country parks, where they can ride along the paths. It’s a popular way to exercise and spend time outdoors together.

× I don't have a bike when I were a child, but my cousin, they did have one.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but my cousin did have one.

The answer describes a situation in childhood, so use the past forms didn't have and was. Using did have is also consistent with the past. Keep the main verbs in the same past-time frame.

× So every time when we go cycling together, I will borrow their bite and we will go to uh, uh, bicycle ride, which is near the sea and we will ride by the side and I think we have a lot of fun.

✓ So every time we went cycling together, I would borrow their bike, and we would go for a bike ride near the sea. We would ride along the seaside, and I think we had a lot of fun.

This sentence describes repeated events in the past, so use went, would borrow, would go, would ride, and had. Would is commonly used for repeated past actions. The past-time frame should remain consistent throughout the description.

× So every time when we go cycling together, I will borrow their bite and we will go to uh, uh, bicycle ride, which is near the sea and we will ride by the side and I think we have a lot of fun.

✓ So every time we went cycling together, I would borrow their bike, and we would go for a bike ride near the sea. We would ride along the seaside, and I think we had a lot of fun.

Every time already introduces a time clause, so when is unnecessary after it. Use every time we went rather than every time when we went.

× Uh, as I'm currently living at China, Hong Kong, most of the weekends the parents will bring their child and children to the country park or the countryside and they would just take a bike and start their start riding it.

✓ As I'm currently living in Hong Kong, China, most weekends parents bring their children to a country park or the countryside, where they take a bike and start riding it.

Use in with the place where someone lives, and say in Hong Kong, China. The natural preposition for this time expression is on, as in on most weekends; most weekends is also correct without a preposition.

× Uh, as I'm currently living at China, Hong Kong, most of the weekends the parents will bring their child and children to the country park or the countryside and they would just take a bike and start their start riding it.

✓ As I'm currently living in Hong Kong, China, most weekends parents bring their children to a country park or the countryside, where they take a bike and start riding it.

The sentence refers generally to parents bringing multiple children, so use the plural children. Avoid combining the singular child with the plural children in this context.

× Uh, as I'm currently living at China, Hong Kong, most of the weekends the parents will bring their child and children to the country park or the countryside and they would just take a bike and start their start riding it.

✓ As I'm currently living in Hong Kong, China, most weekends parents bring their children to a country park or the countryside, where they take a bike and start riding it.

The sentence describes a usual activity that happens most weekends, so the simple present bring, take, and start is appropriate. Use the same present-tense pattern for the repeated actions.

× Uh, as I'm currently living at China, Hong Kong, most of the weekends the parents will bring their child and children to the country park or the countryside and they would just take a bike and start their start riding it.

✓ As I'm currently living in Hong Kong, China, most weekends parents bring their children to a country park or the countryside, where they take a bike and start riding it.

The phrase start their start riding it contains an unnecessary repeated start and does not form a grammatical phrase. Use start riding it: after start, the -ing form riding is correct.
