Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Jawaban terlalu singkat, tidak jelas, dan ada kekacauan saat menyampaikan alasan. Anda perlu menjawab langsung, memberi satu kalimat topik yang jelas, lalu menjelaskan alasan singkat dan relevan. Hindari filler seperti "umm" dan kata-kata yang tidak lengkap. Contoh perbaikan: sebutkan siapa yang tidak memberikan sepeda dan berikan alasan singkat (mis. kondisi keuangan, lokasi).

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford one at the time. As we lived in a small city with limited cycling paths, they preferred I walk or use public transport for safety.

Suggestion: Jawaban cukup jelas tetapi terlalu umum dan singkat. Perlu dikembangkan dengan detail spesifik dan penghubung yang membuat jawaban lebih koheren (mis. sebutkan persentase kecil, jenis orang yang menggunakan sepeda, atau alasan seperti biaya dan kemudahan parkir). Gunakan satu atau dua kalimat tambahan untuk menjelaskan alasan dan contoh konkret.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in smaller towns and among students, because they are cheap and convenient. For example, many teenagers cycle to school every day, and some commuters prefer bikes to avoid traffic and save on transport costs.

× No I didn't. My parents, umm, I forgot to.

✓ No, I didn't. My parents did, umm, but I forgot to.

The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. The student likely meant their parents had bikes but they forgot to say so. This requires adding a verb and proper clause structure: 'My parents did' uses 'did' to echo 'have' in the question in the past tense. Also add a comma after 'No' for clarity. Improve by forming complete clauses and including the appropriate auxiliary verb to match the past simple question structure. Suggested practice: rewrite similar responses in full sentences, e.g. 'No, I didn't. My parents did, but I don't remember.' Practice using auxiliary verbs (did) to avoid fragments.

× Yeah, I think it's very popular because some people use bikes for school and for work every day.

✓ Yeah, I think they're very popular because some people use bikes for school and for work every day.

The student used 'it's' (it is) to refer to 'bikes' which is plural; this creates a subject-verb disagreement. The correct pronoun and verb form for plural 'bikes' is 'they're' (they are). Keep the rest of the sentence in present simple since it describes a general fact. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents; replace 'it' with 'they' when referring to plural nouns.
