Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly in past tense, be natural and concise, and provide a brief reason or detail. Use one clear topic sentence (past form) and one supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid repeating incorrect words.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. However, I often borrowed my neighbor’s bike to ride to the park on weekends.

Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion with correct grammar and add a specific reason or example using linking words (e.g., because, for example). Use correct collocations like “ride bicycles” or “cycling is popular.” Keep it to two sentences max.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because many people use them for commuting and exercise. For example, in my city there are cycling lanes and weekend group rides that attract dozens of riders.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue and ID:5 Past tense issue and ID:27 Subject-verb agreement errors. The examiner asked about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student must use past tense. 'I don't have' is present tense and does not match the question. Use the past tense auxiliary 'did' plus base verb: 'I didn't (have one).' For clarity and completeness, include the object: 'I didn't have a bike.' Suggestions: Use past simple for past questions; say 'No, I didn't have a bike.'

× I don't have chill.

✓ I didn't feel relaxed/comfortable about it. OR I wasn't relaxed.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue and ID:5 Past tense issue and ID:12 Incorrect use of pronouns/word choice. The student again uses present tense 'don't' instead of past 'didn't' and uses the noun 'chill' incorrectly to express a feeling. In conversational English, 'chill' as an adjective means 'relaxed' and would be used as 'I wasn't chill' or better 'I wasn't relaxed.' Since the question was about childhood possession, this sentence is also off-topic; if the student meant they weren't allowed or weren't interested, express that: 'I wasn't allowed to have one' or 'I wasn't interested.' Use past simple and correct adjective choice.

× Actually yes, in my city a lot people practice.

✓ Actually, yes. In my city a lot of people ride bicycles / cycle.

Grammar problem type ID:1 Singular and plural issue and ID:11 Incorrect use of prepositions and ID:26 Sentence structure errors. The phrase 'a lot people' is missing the preposition/quantifier 'of': it should be 'a lot of people.' Also 'practice' is incorrect verb choice; English speakers 'ride' or 'cycle' bicycles. Break into two sentences or use a comma after 'Actually' for natural flow. Use present simple because the question is general (Are bikes popular?).

× Practice is bicycle.

✓ Many people ride bicycles. OR Cycling is popular.

Grammar problem type ID:26 Sentence structure errors and ID:13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs. 'Practice is bicycle' is ungrammatical word order and wrong noun use. Express the idea as 'People ride bicycles' or 'Cycling is common/popular.' Use subject + verb + object word order: 'Many people ride bicycles' or 'Cycling is popular in my city.'
