Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer more clearly and use past tense consistently. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two concise supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., “I had a red bike that my parents bought me”). Avoid unnecessary words and keep to under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes. I had a red bike that my parents bought me when I was eight. It was my main way to get around the neighborhood, so I rode it almost every day. Because it was lightweight, I could ride it long distances without getting too tired.

Sugestão: Be more precise and natural: give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and linking words. Use correct phrasing (e.g., “use bicycles for transportation”) and avoid repetition. Provide one or two concrete examples or comparisons.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bicycles are quite popular, especially in smaller towns. For example, many people use bikes for short trips to markets or schools because they are cheap and easy to park. In addition, cycling helps people save money on fuel and public transport.

× Well, I have a bike that my parents bought me, a color red bike.

✓ Well, I had a bike that my parents bought me, a red bike.

The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so verb tense should be past (had) rather than present (have). Also, 'a color red bike' is ungrammatical; English uses adjective order 'a red bike' and the indefinite article remains 'a'. Use 'had' to match the past context and place the adjective before the noun: 'a red bike'. Suggestions: change 'have' to 'had' to match past time, and use adjective + noun order 'a red bike'.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

This sentence is grammatically correct. 'Bikes' as a plural noun matches the plural verb idea 'are popular'. No correction needed.

× I'd say that yes, in a small town they use bicycle to transport transportation.

✓ I'd say that, yes, in small towns they use bicycles for transportation.

Several issues: subject-verb agreement and count noun form. 'They use bicycle' is incorrect because 'bicycle' should be plural 'bicycles' to agree with plural subject 'they'. Also 'in a small town' is better generalized as 'in small towns' when making a general statement. 'To transport transportation' is redundant and incorrect; use 'for transportation' to indicate purpose. Suggestions: change 'in a small town' to 'in small towns', 'bicycle' to 'bicycles', and 'to transport transportation' to 'for transportation'.

× And they can say they can save money for that.

✓ And they can say they can save money by doing so.

Pronoun/reference and phrasing issues: 'for that' is vague and non-idiomatic after 'save money'; better is 'by doing so' or 'by using bicycles'. Also repeating 'they can' is redundant; consider simplifying to 'And they say they can save money by doing so.' Keep pronoun references clear: specify the action ('using bicycles') if needed. Suggestions: replace 'for that' with 'by doing so' or 'by using bicycles' and remove redundant 'can' if desired.
