Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Pronunciation and accuracy: correct mispronunciations and wrong words (e.g., "bite" → "bike"); sentence structure: use a clear topic sentence and logical sequence (age, how you got it, how you learned). Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and avoid unrelated trailing information. Use linking words (e.g., "then", "after that") to show sequence and add one specific detail (where you practiced or who taught you).

Exemplo: I didn't have a bike when I was very young, but when I was about 13 I got my first one. It was a second-hand bike that I repaired myself, and then I practiced riding for three days until I felt confident. My older cousin showed me the basics, and we practiced in a quiet park near my house.

Sugestão: Make the topic sentence direct and improve grammar (use past/present appropriately). Be specific about reasons and add one supporting example. Use linking words to connect reason and consequence (e.g., "because", "as a result"). Avoid repetition ("started doing bike" and "started riding bike").

Exemplo: Yes, bikes have become very popular in my country, especially during the 2020 pandemic. Because public transport felt risky, many people chose cycling for exercise and short journeys, so bike sales and cycle lanes increased in cities like [your city]. As a result, cycling is now more common for commuting and leisure.

× I grew up not having a bite, but when I turned I think 13 years old, I got my first bike.

✓ I grew up without a bike, but when I turned about 13 years old I got my first bike.

The sentence has wrong word choice and awkward order. 'a bite' is incorrect; the correct noun is 'a bike'. 'Not having a bike' is better expressed as 'without a bike'. The phrase 'when I turned I think 13 years old' is ungrammatical; use 'when I turned about 13 years old' or 'when I was about 13'. Improve fluency by removing unnecessary fillers and placing the age phrase directly after 'turned'.

× It's a second hand bike and I fixed it for me to practice.

✓ It was a second-hand bike and I fixed it to practice.

Use hyphenated compound adjective 'second-hand' and the article 'a' is fine but past tense 'was' fits narrative context. 'Fixed it for me to practice' is unidiomatic; use 'fixed it to practice' or 'fixed it so I could practice'. Also 'fixed it for me' implies someone else fixed it on your behalf; avoid that if you mean you repaired it yourself.

× I learned to ride a bike for three days.

✓ I learned to ride a bike in three days.

When describing the time it took to acquire a skill, use 'in three days' not 'for three days'. 'For three days' suggests duration of an activity rather than the time taken to learn. Also 'learned' is correct past tense to match the rest of the narrative.

× When we got COVID, we went to a village where.

✓ When we got COVID, we went to a village.

The clause ends with an unfinished relative clause 'where' and lacks an object or further information. Remove 'where' unless you add more details (for example, 'where my grandparents live'). The corrected sentence is complete and maintains past tense.

× Bikes are popular in my country especially in 2020 when pandemic happened since everyone started doing bike and started riding bike instead of course.

✓ Bikes became more popular in my country, especially in 2020 when the pandemic happened, because many people started cycling instead of going to the gym or using public transport.

Tense and word choice problems: 'are popular' is acceptable generally, but the sentence discusses a change in 2020 so past tense 'became' is clearer. 'the pandemic' needs the definite article. 'started doing bike' and 'started riding bike' are ungrammatical; use 'started cycling' or 'started riding bikes'. 'Instead of course' is unclear; replace with a specific alternative like 'instead of going to the gym or using public transport' to clarify meaning.
