Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be direct and use past tense for past experiences. Expand slightly with a brief reason or detail and keep it within 2–3 sentences. Use linking words if adding details (e.g., "because", "so"). Avoid simple present when referring to the past.

Exemplo: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my family lived in a small apartment and there wasn't space to store one. As a result, I usually walked or took the bus to school.

Sugestão: Use clear subject-verb agreement and organize ideas with linking words. Start with a topic sentence, then give specific supporting details and a short comparison. Avoid repetition and correct articles and plurals (e.g., "bikes are", "in the city").

Exemplo: In my country, bikes are not very popular in the cities, but they are more common in the provinces. For example, in urban areas most people use cars or motorcycles because distances are longer and public transport is limited, whereas in rural towns people often cycle for short trips and errands.

× No, I don't have a bike.

✓ No, I didn't have a bike.

The question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?' uses simple past tense. The student's response should match that past timeframe by using the past tense 'didn't have' rather than the present 'don't have'. Use past tense to talk about childhood: 'I didn't have a bike.'

× Bike is not popular in a city in here in Philippines but maybe in province it's popular but in city it's not.

✓ Bikes are not popular in the cities here in the Philippines, but they may be popular in the provinces.

The student uses present tense but makes number and article errors. 'Bike' as a general noun should be plural 'Bikes' or use an article. 'In a city in here in Philippines' is ungrammatical; use 'in the cities here in the Philippines' to refer to urban areas, and 'in the provinces' for rural areas. Also use 'they' to refer back to 'bikes' and 'may be' for possibility. Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct noun forms when speaking about general situations.

× Everyone's using a car, a motorcycle.

✓ Everyone uses cars or motorcycles.

'Everyone's using' is present continuous implying right now; the general statement about habitual transportation should use simple present: 'Everyone uses'. Also 'a car, a motorcycle' is awkward; use plural nouns 'cars or motorcycles' to indicate general use. Alternatively 'Everyone uses a car or a motorcycle' is acceptable, but plural forms are more natural for general statements.
