Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful to answer in the correct tense and keep sentences concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (for example, 'because' or 'so'). Avoid repetition and small grammar errors (e.g., 'bike' vs 'bag', 'didn't have', 'was afraid of falling', 'get hurt' → 'getting hurt').

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family couldn’t afford one, so I usually walked or took the bus. I was also afraid of falling and getting hurt, which made me prefer those safer options.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, then provide two clear, specific reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Remove filler words (uh) and use plural/singular forms correctly (e.g., 'a weekend ride' or 'weekend rides'). Clarify 'practical in social' to 'popular for social and practical reasons' and add an example or brief result.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country. Many young people use them for commuting, and there are cycling clubs that organize weekend rides. Because they are cheap and healthy, bicycles are popular both for transport and for social activities.

× No I don't have a bag when I was a child because my mother couldn't afford to buy one.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my mother couldn't afford to buy one.

The sentence uses the present-tense verb 'don't have' with a past-time marker 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'didn't have'. Also the student wrote 'bag' but the question asks about a 'bike' — this is likely a lexical error; correcting to 'bike' matches context. Include a comma after 'No' for natural speech. Suggestion: Use past simple for past events (didn't have) and check vocabulary matches the question.

× Also I was afraid of riding it because I worried at my fall and got get hurt so I preferred walking or taking a bus.

✓ Also, I was afraid of riding it because I worried about falling and getting hurt, so I preferred walking or taking the bus.

Multiple past-tense and verb form issues: 'worried at my fall' is incorrect preposition and noun form; use 'worried about falling' (gerund after 'worried about'). 'got get hurt' mixes forms; use 'getting hurt' (gerund) after 'about' or 'and'. Use past tense 'preferred' is correct. Also 'taking a bus' is acceptable but 'taking the bus' is more natural when speaking generally. Add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: After 'worried' use 'about' + verb-ing for the action; keep consistent past forms and use 'getting' not 'get'.

× Yes, I do think it is popular in our country because I can see many young people riding it and I also, uh, see uh, clubs and teams organizing a weekend rides.

✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in our country because I can see many young people riding them, and I also see clubs and teams organizing weekend rides.

Subject-reference and number errors: 'it is popular' should agree with plural 'bikes' -> 'bikes are popular'. Pronoun 'it' should be 'them' to refer to 'bikes'. 'a weekend rides' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'rides' and is ungrammatical; use 'weekend rides' (no article) or 'a weekend ride' (singular). Remove filler 'uh' in corrected sentence. Suggestion: Ensure subject and pronoun number match (bikes -> them), and choose correct article or none for count nouns ('weekend rides').

× So I can say that it is also practical in social.

✓ So I can say that they are also practical for social activities.

The phrase 'practical in social' is incorrect. 'Practical for' + noun is the correct preposition and 'social activities' provides a complete noun phrase. Also change 'it is' to 'they are' to agree with plural 'bikes'. Suggestion: Use 'practical for' and a noun phrase like 'social activities'; match verb number to the subject.
