Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more grammatical, concise and add a clear topic sentence followed by 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb tenses and eliminate repetition. Aim for 2–4 coherent sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was pink and my father gave it to me as a birthday present, so I rode it almost every day around the neighborhood. Because it was new and comfortable, I learned to ride quickly and spent most afternoons practicing tricks with my friends.

Suggestion: Start with a clear direct answer, then give two specific reasons using linking words (for example, 'first' and 'second'). Avoid fillers and incomplete phrases; choose precise vocabulary (e.g., 'transport' not 'mode of transportation already'). Keep answers to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. First, many people use them for short trips because they are cheaper and easier to park; second, cycling is seen as good exercise, so many commuters ride to stay fit.

× It was color pink.

✓ It was pink.

The phrase 'color pink' is incorrect English adjective use. Use the adjective directly after 'was' to describe the noun: 'It was pink.' Alternatively you could say 'It was the color pink.' For clarity and brevity use 'It was pink.'

× I actually play with it like every day when my dad gave it to me.

✓ I actually played with it almost every day after my dad gave it to me.

The sentence mixes present tense 'play' with a past context ('gave it to me'). Use the past tense 'played' to match the time frame. 'Like' as a filler is informal; 'almost' or 'nearly' is clearer. Also replace 'when' with 'after' to show the sequence of events more naturally.

× So it was relatively new back then.

✓ So it was relatively new back then.

No correction needed. This sentence correctly uses past tense to describe a past state. Keep as is.

× So I kept on playing with the with the bike and I also.

✓ So I kept on playing with the bike, and I also took care of it.

The original sentence is incomplete and repeats 'the'. Provide a complete coordinated clause after 'and I also' to avoid a sentence fragment. Also remove the duplicate 'the'.

× Yes, I do think bikes are popular in our country because number one, it's good for fitness and #2 it, it's like a mode of transportation already for short distances.

✓ Yes, I do think bikes are popular in our country because, first, they are good for fitness, and second, they are already a mode of transportation for short distances.

The sentence uses 'bikes' (plural) but switches to 'it's' (singular). Ensure subject-verb agreement by using plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are'. Also replace informal markers ('number one', '#2', 'it's like') with clearer transitions ('first', 'second') and remove 'like' which is conversational filler.

× Umm, instead of using cars, we use bikes to go from one place to another.

✓ Instead of using cars, we use bikes to go from one place to another.

No major grammatical error except informal 'Umm'. Removing filler improves clarity. Pronouns are used correctly.

× Plus it also has it's, umm, physical, uh.

✓ Plus, it also has physical benefits.

'It's' is a contraction meaning 'it is' or 'it has' (informal for 'it has' is uncommon and often incorrect). The intended possessive should be 'its' if describing qualities, but here 'has' requires an object: 'has physical benefits.' Remove filler sounds and complete the noun phrase for clarity.
