Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and use correct tense and concise structure. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (umm) and repetition.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or my mother drove me there, so I never needed one.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and add a specific example with correct vocabulary. Use a linking phrase to connect your reason and avoid fillers. Say 'shared bikes' or 'bike-sharing services' instead of 'shearing bike.'

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because there are many bike-sharing services. For example, you can rent a shared bike parked at docking stations across the city, which makes short trips convenient and cheap.

× No, I don't have a bike when I'm child because umm I usually walk for school or I my mother will drive me to the school or anyway so I don't have a bike when I'm a child.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because I usually walked to school or my mother would drive me to school, so I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The sentence describes past habitual situations but uses present tense forms (don't have, I'm child). Use past tense for past events: 'didn't have' and 'was a child'. Also change 'I usually walk for school' to 'I usually walked to school' (correct preposition and past tense). Replace 'my mother will drive me' with 'my mother would drive me' or 'my mother drove me' to reflect past habit. Remove redundant phrase 'to the school' to 'to school'. Overall maintain past tense for consistency.

× Yeah, I think bikes are popular in my country because we can easily borrow the bike beside the road.

✓ Yeah, I think bikes are popular in my country because we can easily borrow bikes beside the road.

The original uses 'the bike' which is incorrect because it refers to bikes in general; use plural 'bikes' for general statements. Also 'beside the road' is acceptable but 'on the roadside' or 'by the roadside' can be more natural. Maintain plural agreement for general facts.

× They have umm, like shearing bike.

✓ They have, um, shared bikes.

The phrase 'shearing bike' is incorrect word choice. Use the adjective 'shared' to describe bikes used by multiple people, or 'bike-sharing' as a compound noun 'bike-sharing system'. Also use plural 'bikes' when speaking generally. Keep filler 'umm' as 'um' and place commas appropriately.

× Uh, every citizen can use it.

✓ Uh, every citizen can use them.

'Every citizen' suggests individuals using bikes, but 'it' refers to a singular object while the antecedent is plural 'bikes' or 'shared bikes'. Use 'them' to refer to plural 'bikes' or rephrase to 'every citizen can use a bike' to keep singular reference consistent. Ensure pronoun agrees with its antecedent.
