Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Give a complete, past-tense response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Use past tense consistently, add a brief reason or memory, and keep it concise (max 5 sentences). Use linking words if adding details.

Exemplo: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child. I remember my parents couldn't afford one at the time, so I usually walked to school with my friends. Occasionally I borrowed a neighbour's bike, which was always exciting.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then give two specific supporting reasons linked logically. Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, tense, articles), avoid redundancy, and keep to 3–4 sentences. Use linking words like 'because', 'also', or 'for example'.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. This is mainly because many cities have good bike lanes and smooth roads, which make cycling safe and convenient. Also, bikes are affordable for most families, so many children and commuters use them daily.

× I don't have a bike.

✓ I didn't have a bike.

The examiner asked about the past (when you were a child), so the student should use past tense. 'Don't have' is present tense; change to 'didn't have' to match the time frame. Suggestion: Use past simple for statements about a past period: 'I didn't have a bike.'

× Yes, it's very popular and most of my childhood friend are using it because we have a nice road and then of course they can afford and like me I cannot afford because my parent is not that rich that much.

✓ Yes, they are very popular, and most of my childhood friends used them because we had good roads and, of course, many could afford them. I couldn't afford one because my parents weren't very rich.

Multiple tense and agreement errors: the question asks about general popularity (present) but the student refers to childhood (past). Use consistent tense for that context. 'It's very popular' should match plurality: 'they are very popular' or if referring to bikes in general use 'they are'. 'childhood friend' should be plural 'childhood friends'. 'are using it' is awkward and mismatched in tense; use 'used them' for past habitual actions. Pronoun and possessive errors: 'my parent' should be plural 'my parents'. 'cannot afford' should be past 'couldn't afford' to match childhood. 'is not that rich that much' is ungrammatical; use 'weren't very rich' or 'weren't that rich.' Suggestions: Keep tense consistent with the time reference (past for childhood), ensure subject-verb agreement ('friends' with 'used'), match pronouns and plural forms ('parents'), and simplify comparative phrasing ('weren't very rich').
