Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be careful with tense consistency, redundancy and minor grammar (use past tense consistently, avoid repeating possession). Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and add one or two specific details using linking words. For example, start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then add a specific supporting detail and a brief reason or result.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle when I was about eight, and several of my friends had bikes too. We rode to school together on weekdays, and after classes we often cycled to the nearby park to play because I loved the feeling of freedom and fresh air.

Sugestão: Improve subject-verb agreement and add a specific example or statistic to strengthen your answer. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to show cause and effect. Keep it concise and include a brief prediction or comparison if possible.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bicycles are becoming more popular in my country. For example, the government has expanded bike lanes in major cities, so an increasing number of people now cycle to work or school; I expect this trend to continue as public transport gets crowded.

× Yes I did. I have a bike when I was a child and my friends of mine had one too.

✓ Yes, I did. I had a bike when I was a child, and my friends had one too.

The sentence mixes present perfect/simple present ('I have a bike') with past ('when I was a child'). The action of owning a bike is in the past, so use the past simple 'had'. Also remove redundant phrase 'of mine' after 'my friends' and add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Suggestion: Keep verb tenses consistent; use past simple for past situations ('had').

× Every weekdays we rode our bikes to school together and after classes we often went to the park to play because I enjoyed the freedom of cycling.

✓ On weekdays we rode our bikes to school together, and after classes we often went to the park to play because I enjoyed the freedom of cycling.

The expression 'Every weekdays' is incorrect. Use 'On weekdays' or 'Every weekday' for habitual past actions. Also add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Suggestion: Use 'on weekdays' for recurring events that happen on multiple days of the week. (Note: 'we rode' and 'we often went' correctly use past tense.)

× Yes, I think bicycles are increasingly popular in my country. The government have improved bicycle lanes in major cities, so many people now cycle to school and commute to work as well.

✓ Yes, I think bicycles are increasingly popular in my country. The government has improved bicycle lanes in major cities, so many people now cycle to school and commute to work as well.

In this context 'government' is treated as a singular collective noun, so the singular verb 'has' is required in standard English ('government has improved'). Using 'have' causes a subject-verb agreement error. Suggestion: Match the verb number to the subject; use 'has' with singular collective nouns in formal context.
