Ejemplo: Yes, I do. Bicycles and motorbikes are very popular in my country because many people cannot afford cars, so two-wheelers are a cheaper and more practical means of transport. For instance, in congested cities and rural areas with narrow roads, motorbikes allow people to travel faster and park more easily.
× Yes I did I had a small yellow bike when I was a child uh because I love free riding uh it too I ride right.
✓ Yes, I did. I had a small yellow bike when I was a child because I loved free riding and I used to ride it a lot.
The student mixes present and past tense. The context is childhood, so past tense is required: 'love' should be 'loved' and 'used to' expresses habitual past action. Also 'it too I ride right' is incorrect word order and phrasing; 'used to ride it a lot' is a clear habitual past construction. Add punctuation for clarity.
× I love it reading it in holiday uh because my parents uh.
✓ I loved riding it during holidays because my parents ...
This sentence refers to past events, so past tense 'loved' and past habitual 'riding' (gerund) are appropriate. 'in holiday' is incorrect preposition and number; use 'during holidays' or 'on holiday'. The sentence is also incomplete; ellipsis indicates missing information.
× Yes I do, bike and motorbikes are very popular in my country because many people cannot afford cars.
✓ Yes, I do. Bikes and motorbikes are very popular in my country because many people cannot afford cars.
Mixing singular 'bike' with plural 'motorbikes' is inconsistent. Use plural 'bikes' to match 'motorbikes' when speaking generally. Also add punctuation split into two sentences for clarity.
× So motorcycles are cheaper and more practical means of transport.
✓ So motorcycles are a cheaper and more practical means of transport.
The original lacks an article before 'cheaper' when describing a singular general category: 'a cheaper and more practical means of transport' or alternatively 'cheaper and more practical modes of transport.' Ensure article and number agreement between 'means' and determiners.
× They are especially common in cities and rural area where traffic and Norris Rd. make a bike more.
✓ They are especially common in cities and rural areas where traffic and narrow roads make a bike more practical.
Use plural 'areas' to match 'cities'. 'Norris Rd.' seems incorrect; likely 'narrow roads' was intended. The phrase 'make a bike more' is incomplete; add 'practical' to complete the comparison. Ensure noun plurality and correct word choice.
× I had a small yellow bike when I was a child uh because I love free riding uh it too I ride right.
✓ I had a small yellow bike when I was a child because I loved riding it freely and I used to ride it a lot.
Replace incorrect preposition/phrase 'free riding' with 'riding it freely' or simply 'riding it'. 'It too I ride right' has incorrect word order; restructure to 'I used to ride it a lot.' Use past tense for consistency.
