Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Improve grammar, tense consistency and add a brief supporting detail. Start with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, use past-simple verbs correctly, and add one short reason or memory. Keep it natural and concise (max 3–4 short sentences).

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for me when I was seven, and I used to ride it to visit my friends every afternoon.

Sugestão: Make the opinion clear and use comparative phrasing correctly. Provide a specific reason or example using linking words (e.g., because, since, so) to support your view. Keep answers natural and concise (2–3 sentences).

Exemplo: No, regular bicycles are not very popular in my country because most people prefer motorbikes for commuting. For example, motorbikes are faster and easier to use in heavy traffic, so you see far more of them on the roads.

× I have a bike my dad buy me when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike my dad bought me when I was a child.

The student used 'have' and 'buy' incorrectly for a past situation. The action of receiving the bike occurred in the past, so the main verb should be past simple 'had' and the verb 'buy' should be in past form 'bought'. Use past tense consistently for completed past events: 'I had a bike my dad bought me when I was a child.' Suggestions: Use past simple for completed past facts; change 'have' to 'had' and 'buy' to 'bought'.

× I have a bike my dad buy me when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike that my dad bought me when I was a child.

The original sentence lacks a connector and clear clause structure. Adding 'that' (or a comma and 'which') clarifies the relationship between the bike and the action of buying. It also ensures correct clause boundaries: 'I had a bike that my dad bought me when I was a child.' Suggestions: Insert 'that' or rephrase to 'I had a bike, which my dad bought me...'. Ensure clause connectors for clarity.

× I think bikes are not popular in our country.

✓ I think bikes are not popular in my country.

The tense is acceptable, but the phrase 'our country' may be incorrect in this context if the speaker is answering as an individual; 'my country' is more natural. This is not a strict grammar tense error but a register/pronominal choice. Maintain present simple for general opinions: 'I think bikes are not popular in my country.' Suggestions: Use 'my country' for personal statements about one's country.

× Our country is more popular by motorbikes.

✓ Motorbikes are more popular than bicycles in my country.

The original uses passive-like 'is more popular by' which is incorrect. To compare popularity of two things, use comparative structure: 'X is more popular than Y' or active subject: 'Motorbikes are more popular than bicycles in my country.' Also swap 'our country' to 'my country' for natural personal expression. Suggestions: Use comparative 'more popular than' and place the subject correctly: 'Motorbikes are more popular than bicycles in my country.'
