Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Improve grammar, add a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Correct the sentence to: “Yes, I did. My parents bought one for me when I was about seven.” Then add a brief detail (why you liked it or where you rode it) using a linking word.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. My parents bought one for me when I was about seven, and I used to ride it around the neighborhood every afternoon. Because the area near my house was quiet, I felt safe practicing and soon became quite confident.

Sugestão: Make the response more natural and specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific reasons and use linking words to connect ideas. For example, mention who uses bikes (students, commuters), and why (cost, convenience, traffic).

Exemplo: Yes, I do. Many people, especially students and office workers, ride bikes because they are cheap and often faster than cars in congested areas. For instance, commuters can avoid traffic jams and save money on fuel, so cycling is a common choice.

× Yes I did, my parents bought for me.

✓ Yes, I did; my parents bought one for me.

The original sentence omits the object of 'bought' and misorders words. In English, you need an object (e.g., 'one' or 'a bike') after 'bought' and the prepositional phrase 'for me' should follow it. Also add a comma after 'Yes' and use a semicolon or separate sentence to join related clauses. Suggestion: say 'Yes, I did. My parents bought one for me.' or 'Yes, I did; my parents bought a bike for me.'

× People riding bikes go to work or school.

✓ People who ride bikes go to work or school.

The phrase 'People riding bikes' is understandable but nonstandard here; the active verb form 'ride' should be used in a relative clause: 'people who ride bikes.' This keeps the present habitual meaning. Alternatively, 'People riding bikes' could be acceptable in some contexts as a reduced relative clause, but adding 'who' makes the sentence clearer and grammatically standard. Suggestion: use 'People who ride bikes...' to describe habitual actions.
