Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and confident: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (e.g., “umm”), and add one brief specific detail to enrich the answer. Use a linking phrase if you add another point.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike with removable training wheels, which my parents took off when I was six so I could learn to ride on my own.

Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid hesitations and repetitions, and add a specific reason or example. Use a linking word (e.g., “however” or “instead”) to contrast points clearly.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular. However, in Australia they are used more for leisure and exercise rather than everyday transport; for example, many people cycle on weekends in coastal bike paths and parks.

× Umm, we don't really use them as like transport through like in Australia, but we do ride bikes for fun and for exercise.

✓ Umm, we don't really use them as transport in Australia, but we do ride bikes for fun and for exercise.

The preposition 'through' is incorrect in this context; use 'in' to indicate location (in Australia). Also 'as like transport' is ungrammatical; remove 'like' and use 'as transport' or simply 'for transport'. Suggestion: say 'use them as transport in Australia' or 'use them for transport in Australia'.

× They are. They're really popular.

✓ They are really popular.

Two short sentences are acceptable in speech, but for grammatical clarity combine them into one: 'They are really popular.' Alternatively, avoid starting a sentence with a pronoun followed by a contraction if unnecessary. This change improves formality and flow.

× Yes I did. I had a bike with those, umm, training wheels that you can take off.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike with those training wheels that you could take off.

Minor structure and tense consistency: add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity. Change 'you can take off' to 'you could take off' to match the past context ('I had'). Remove the filler 'umm' in written form. Suggestion: 'Yes, I did. I had a bike with those training wheels that you could take off.'
