Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Improve grammar and clarity: use correct verb forms (e.g., "taught myself" not "thought myself"), correct number agreement, and simplify sentences to avoid redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers to no more than 4–5 sentences.

Exemplo: I taught myself to ride a bike when I was seven. It quickly became a fun leisure activity that I did with my friends, and at first I found it difficult. However, after a few tries I got the hang of it and it became my first sport and hobby.

Sugestão: Fix grammar and add specific details and a linking word to make the answer more coherent. Use plural agreement ("bikes have"), add a brief reason or example, and vary vocabulary (e.g., "inexpensive," "environmentally friendly"). Keep it concise with a clear topic sentence followed by concrete supporting details.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. I often see many students riding them to school because they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. For example, parents prefer bikes for short commutes since they save money on fuel and are easy to park.

× I thought myself how to bike when I was seven years old.

✓ I taught myself how to ride a bike when I was seven years old.

The reflexive verb here should be 'taught myself' (not 'thought myself') and the correct verb for riding a bicycle is 'ride' rather than 'bike' used as a verb in this context. 'Thought myself' is ungrammatical. Use 'taught myself' to indicate you learned by yourself and 'ride a bike' is the natural collocation. Suggestion: practice correct verb collocations and reflexive verbs (teach oneself, learn by oneself).

× Biking was a form of leisure for me and my friends.

✓ Biking was a form of leisure for my friends and me.

The phrase 'my friends and me' is the correct object form; using 'for me and my friends' is not strictly ungrammatical but 'for my friends and me' is more natural and stylistically preferred. Also keep past tense 'was' to match 'when I was seven'. Suggestion: put others before 'me' and use object pronoun 'me'.

× At first I was having a hard time learning it, but then a couple of you tries I've learned it easily and became my first sport and hobby that I learned at a young age.

✓ At first I had a hard time learning it, but after a couple of tries I learned it easily, and it became the first sport and hobby I picked up at a young age.

Multiple issues: 'was having' is an unnecessary past progressive; simple past 'had' is correct. 'a couple of you tries' is incorrect — should be 'a couple of tries'. 'I've learned' mixes present perfect with a past narrative; simple past 'I learned' fits the past story. 'became my first sport and hobby that I learned' is awkward; 'it became the first sport and hobby I picked up' is concise. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for past narratives and correct noun phrases like 'a couple of tries'.

× I have seen quite a lot of bikes on the road.

✓ I have seen quite a lot of bikes on the road.

This sentence is grammatically correct; 'bikes' plural agrees with 'seen'. No change needed. Suggestion: keep as is when describing present perfect observation.

× Bikes has been a form of transportation that is used especially for students going to school.

✓ Bikes have been a form of transportation that is used especially by students going to school.

Subject-verb agreement: 'bikes' is plural so use 'have' not 'has'. Also use 'by students' rather than 'for students' to show agents who use bikes, though 'for students' is possible. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with plural subject and use appropriate preposition 'by' for users.

× It is cost efficient and energy efficient.

✓ They are cost-efficient and energy-efficient.

Referent should be plural 'they' for 'bikes'. Also compound adjectives before nouns are hyphenated: 'cost-efficient' and 'energy-efficient'. Keep parallel structure. Suggestion: match pronoun number to noun and hyphenate compound adjectives; alternatively say 'They are cost efficient and energy efficient.' without hyphens in informal contexts.
