Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Give a more complete response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Mention what kind of bike it was, who gave it to you or how you used it, and a brief feeling or memory. Keep it natural and no more than 3–5 sentences. Use linking words like “and” or “because” to connect ideas.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle with training wheels that my parents bought me when I was six, and I used it to ride around the neighborhood every afternoon. Because I practiced a lot with my older cousin, I learned to ride without the training wheels in a few weeks.

Sugestão: Expand the answer with specific reasons and clearer phrasing. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons (e.g., cost, traffic, environment, or exercise) and an example or comparison. Use linking words like “because,” “for example,” or “so” and avoid grammatical errors such as “the lot of people.”

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to avoid traffic and save money on transport. For example, in cities you can see many commuters cycling to work, and in smaller towns people often use bikes for short trips to the market.

× Yes, because the lot of people use bikes.

✓ Yes, because a lot of people use bikes.

The student used the definite article 'the' with the quantifier 'lot', which is incorrect in this context. Native speakers say 'a lot of' to indicate many people or things. Use 'a lot of people' or 'many people' instead. Also ensure verb agreement: 'people use' is correct.
