Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and use the past tense consistently. “I said I bought 1” is unclear, and “I remember I learned it and one day” is incomplete. Explain briefly whether you had a bike and add one specific detail, such as how you learned to ride it.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I taught myself to ride it in a quiet area near my home, and I remember feeling really proud when I could ride without help.

Suggestion: Give a clearer opinion at the beginning instead of saying you are unsure, then support it with a specific comparison. Use natural phrasing such as “rely on public transport” and “some people use cars.” You could also distinguish between cycling for transport and cycling for leisure.

Example: I don’t think bikes are very popular for commuting in my country because many people rely on the MTR, buses, and minibuses. However, cycling is popular in some areas as a leisure activity, especially on weekends.

× I remember I learned it and one day.

✓ I remember learning to ride it one day.

The original sentence does not form a complete, coherent structure: and incorrectly connects the clause I learned it with the time phrase one day. Use learning to ride it to express the activity, and place one day with the verb phrase.

× I'm not so sure about that. Um, mainly we depend on our public transportation, which is like uh MTR and bus and minibus.

✓ I'm not so sure about that. Mainly, we depend on public transportation, such as the MTR, buses, and minibuses.

When referring to buses and minibuses in general, use the plural forms buses and minibuses rather than the singular forms bus and minibus. The phrase such as also introduces examples more clearly here. In this response, ID 1 refers to the number-form error.

× Um, others just depend on car, I think.

✓ Others just depend on a car, I think.

Car is a singular countable noun, so it needs a determiner. Use the indefinite article a when referring to any car in general.
