Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Always respond directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no) and then give one or two brief supporting details. Keep answers natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and use linking words if adding details.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I received it as a birthday present when I was eight, and I used it to ride around my neighborhood with friends. Because our area was quiet and safe, I practiced riding on weekends and improved quickly.

Sugestão: This is a good, relevant answer with clear opinion and supporting reasons. To improve, make the topic sentence explicit at the start (e.g., “Yes, I think bikes are somewhat popular”), vary vocabulary a bit, and add one short specific example or consequence. Use a linking word to connect ideas (e.g., “however,” “for example,” “as a result”). Keep to 2–4 sentences for conciseness.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are somewhat popular in the Philippines; however, people mainly ride them in parks rather than on busy streets. For example, families and cyclists use Rizal Park for morning rides because our roads lack protected bike lanes, which makes commuting by bike less safe.

× Did you have a bike when you were a child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

No correction needed. The sentence is a correct past tense question asking about possession during childhood, matching the examiner's question. No grammar problem from the provided list applies.

× Although bikes are popular in the Philippines, people mostly use them in parks rather than on public roads because our public roads are mainly used for cars and we lack protected bike lanes or bikeways.

✓ Although bikes are popular in the Philippines, people mostly use them in parks rather than on public roads because our roads are mainly used by cars and we lack protected bike lanes or bikeways.

Minor wording issue: 'public roads are mainly used for cars' is understandable but it is more natural and grammatically correct to say 'roads are mainly used by cars.' This uses the correct prepositional actor phrase (used by) rather than 'used for.' Change improves preposition usage (Grammar problem type ID 11). Also 'public' is redundant when 'roads' suffices in context, but this is stylistic rather than grammatical. Suggestion: use 'used by cars' when indicating the agent that uses something, and avoid unnecessary repetition.
