Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural but too short and lacks detail. Give a clear topic sentence then add 1–2 supporting details (e.g., when you got it, how you used it, or a memory). Use a linking word if you add details. Keep it under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I used it to ride to school and around the neighborhood. Because it helped me feel independent, I remember practicing turns and getting faster every week.

Sugestão: Your response answers the question but is vague and hesitant. State your main idea confidently, then give specific reasons or examples (e.g., more people cycling for health, city bike lanes, or bike-sharing schemes). Use linking words (because, for example, recently) and avoid filler words like “umm.”

Exemplo: Yes, I think bicycles have become more popular recently. For example, many people cycle for exercise and short commutes, and the city has added bike lanes and rental bikes, so cycling is more convenient than before.

× Umm, lately in Mongolia, umm, everyone may be riding a bike.

✓ Umm, lately in Mongolia, umm, everyone might be riding a bike.

The speaker used 'may' to express a present ongoing trend. 'May' often indicates permission or a general possibility and is less natural when making a tentative statement about a current trend; 'might' is more appropriate for a tentative observation about what people are probably doing. Additionally, 'lately' suggests a recent trend, so using 'might be riding' (modal + continuous) better fits the intended meaning. Suggestion: use 'might be' or rephrase to 'seems to be riding' for clearer, natural expression.
