Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Expand your answer into a clear short statement and add one or two specific supporting details. Start with a topic sentence (yes/no + brief info), then use a linking word to add a reason, memory or detail. Keep it natural and under 5 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did — I had a red bicycle when I was about eight. For example, I used it every day after school to visit my friends in the neighbourhood, which helped me gain confidence and independence.

Sugestão: Give a fuller response: begin with a direct opinion, then explain why with specific reasons or examples using a linking word (because, since, for example). Avoid slang like “super” alone; use descriptive words and one supporting detail.

Exemplo: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting. For instance, in the city many students and office workers prefer cycling because it is cheap and often faster than driving during rush hour.

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I did.

The short response 'Yes.' is grammatically acceptable colloquially but in the context of the past-tense question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' a fuller reply 'Yes, I did.' explicitly matches the auxiliary 'did' and provides a complete sentence. This avoids sentence fragment issues and clarifies tense and subject. Suggestion: include the subject and auxiliary verb when answering past simple yes/no questions (e.g., 'Yes, I did.').

× Yes, super.

✓ Yes, they're very popular.

The student's reply 'Yes, super.' is informal and uses 'super' as an adjective/adverb in a way that doesn't directly answer 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?' A clear, grammatically complete response should match the present-tense question and provide a subject and verb: 'Yes, they are very popular' or contracted 'Yes, they're very popular.' Suggestion: use a full clause with subject and verb and an appropriate adverb/adjective (e.g., 'very popular') to directly answer the question.
