Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 回答直接，也补充了父亲买自行车的原因，内容清楚。不过结尾重复了开头的意思，可以删去；“I guess it was about 10 or 11 years ago”表达略显不确定，可以更自然地说“when I was about...”。

Example: Yes, I did. My dad bought me my first bike when I was about six, mainly so I could learn how to ride. I remember being a little nervous at first, but I soon got the hang of it.

Suggestion: 回答提到了地形对骑车的影响，但没有先清楚地回答自行车是否普及。注意语法：“depend”后要加“on”；“terrain”通常作单数，应该说“the terrain is”。“paleo areas”不符合这里的语境，可能想表达“flat areas”。建议先概括回答，再用地形或城市交通补充具体原因。

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in flat cities where people can use them for short trips. In hilly or mountainous areas, cycling is less common because the roads can be steep and difficult to ride on.

× it depends the popularity of bikes

✓ it depends on the popularity of bikes

动词短语“depend on”表示“取决于”，其中介词“on”不能省略。建议记住“depend on + 名词/代词”这一固定搭配。

× whose terrain are bumpy and uh jagged

✓ whose terrain is bumpy and jagged

“terrain”在这里是单数名词，因此谓语动词应使用单数形式“is”，不能用“are”。建议先确定主语的单复数，再选择相应的动词形式。

× the popularity of bikes ... might not be as high as those in paleo areas

✓ the popularity of bikes ... might not be as high as that in paleo areas

这里比较的是不同地区自行车的“受欢迎程度”（popularity），而不是复数名词，因此不能用“those”代替。可用“that”指代前文的单数或不可数名词“popularity”，使比较对象一致。
