Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be direct, use correct tense, reduce fillers and give a clear brief elaboration. Start with a concise topic sentence in past tense, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar: use past tense for past events (e.g. 'I had'), and replace fillers like 'uh' with pauses. Also avoid uncertain phrases like 'if I'm not mistaken' unless necessary.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it almost every day around my neighborhood, and my grandfather bought it for me as a birthday present. Because I practised a lot, I became quite confident riding on busy streets.

Sugestão: Answer clearly and organize ideas with linking words. Use correct vocabulary and grammar: say 'bikes are popular', 'since COVID-19', and avoid unclear phrases like 'biking in car'. Provide a brief reason and one specific example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use linking phrases such as 'since', 'because' and 'for example'.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, and their popularity increased since COVID-19 because people wanted outdoor exercise. For example, many people bought road bikes and joined local cycling groups, and cities now have more dedicated bike lanes to accommodate them.

× Yeah, I have one.

✓ Yeah, I had one.

The question asks about the past ('Did you have a bike when you were a child?'), so the student should use past tense. Using present tense 'have' creates a tense mismatch. Suggestion: use past simple 'had' to match the time reference.

× Uh, I did a lot of practice using that bike.

✓ Uh, I practiced a lot using that bike.

Using 'did a lot of practice' is grammatical but awkward; 'practiced' is the simple past form of the verb and more natural. Also it matches the past-time context. Suggestion: use the past simple verb 'practiced' or 'practised' (British) for clarity.

× Uh, I get that bike from my grandfather, if I'm not mistaken.

✓ Uh, I got that bike from my grandfather, if I'm not mistaken.

The present tense 'get' is incorrect for a past event; 'got' is the past tense. This is both a tense issue and preposition 'from' is correct. Keep 'from' but change verb to past simple 'got' to match the past reference.

× Yeah, back is popular in my country.

✓ Yeah, bikes are popular in my country.

The sentence uses 'back' incorrectly and incorrect singular noun. The intended meaning is plural 'bikes' and the verb should be present plural 'are' for general truth. Replace 'back' with 'bikes' and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× There's also a trend uh, with a road bike since 2 COVID-19.

✓ There's also been a trend toward road bikes since COVID-19.

Use present perfect 'has been' (contracted 'there's been') to indicate a trend that started in the past and continues to present. 'Since' should be followed by a point in time, not '2 COVID-19'; remove the '2' and use 'since COVID-19'. Use 'toward road bikes' or 'in road biking' for natural phrasing.

× So everyone's like buying a bike and then they are start biking in car for the Indonesia.

✓ So everyone started buying bikes and then they began cycling around Indonesia.

The original mixes present progressive and incorrect verb forms ('are start'). The timeline refers to people beginning to buy bikes (past) after COVID-19 trend; use past simple 'started' and 'began' or present perfect depending on context. 'Biking in car for the Indonesia' is ungrammatical—use 'cycling around Indonesia' or 'cycling in Indonesia'. Also use plural 'bikes' to match 'everyone' buying individual bikes.
