Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural, relevant and descriptive, but it is slightly long and could be made more concise and structured. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail and a short reason. Use a linking word (for example, “then” or “so”) to improve coherence and keep responses within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes — I had a cherry-red bike as a child. It had training wheels at first, but when I became more confident my parents removed them, so I learned to ride on my own. I rode it every day because it felt like freedom and independence.

Sugestão: Your answer addresses the question and gives a comparison, but the phrasing is blunt and could be more diplomatic and specific. Avoid negative labels like “lazy”; instead give concrete reasons (infrastructure, weather, culture, safety). Use a linking phrase (for example, “mainly because” or “for instance”) and provide one or two specific supporting details.

Exemplo: Not really — bikes are less popular in my country compared with places like the Netherlands. This is mainly because our cities lack safe bike lanes and many people prefer the convenience of cars or motorbikes, especially for commuting longer distances.

× Oh yes, I had a cherry red bike when I was a child and had training wheels at first but when I became more skilled my parents took them off and I used to ride it all the time because I loved the freedom it gave me.

✓ Oh yes, I had a cherry-red bike when I was a child and had training wheels at first, but when I became more skilled my parents took them off and I rode it all the time because I loved the freedom it gave me.

The sentence mixes 'used to ride' with a clear past narrative; 'used to' is acceptable but here simple past 'rode' is more natural and consistent with other past verbs (had, became, took, loved). Also add a hyphen in 'cherry-red' and a comma before 'but' for clarity. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense verbs in a past narrative (e.g., 'I rode it all the time').

× I don't think so. Bikes aren't so popular, unlike Denmark or the Netherlands for example.

✓ I don't think so. Bikes aren't as popular here as in Denmark or the Netherlands, for example.

The original phrasing 'unlike Denmark or the Netherlands' is awkward because 'unlike' should compare the subject directly; better structure is 'not as popular here as in [places]'. Also add commas for 'for example.' Suggestion: Use 'not as ... as' to compare popularity between places and include the location reference ('here').

× I think that some people in our country are quite lazy and more convenient, so they prefer motorized vehicles.

✓ I think that some people in our country are quite lazy and prefer motorized vehicles because they find them more convenient.

The phrase 'and more convenient' incorrectly attaches an adjective without a clear subject; 'convenient' should describe motorized vehicles and requires 'find them' or similar. Reorder the sentence to show cause: people prefer vehicles because they find them convenient. Suggestion: Make sure adjectives have clear subjects or objects, e.g., 'they find them more convenient.'
