Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be careful with accuracy and vocabulary. Your answer is direct but contains an incorrect verb (“wrote” should be “rode”) and is slightly repetitive. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (where you rode it, who gave it to you, or why it was special). Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I received a bike when I was about 12, and I rode it every day around my neighborhood. For example, I often cycled to a nearby park with my friends, which helped me become more confident and independent.

Sugestão: Good clear idea and relevant detail, but improve natural phrasing and add a linking word and a specific example. Avoid phrases like “popular commodity” which sound formal; use “very common” or “widely used.” Also expand briefly on why bikes are preferred (cost, traffic, convenience) to show depth.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very common in the Philippines, especially among commuters who want to avoid heavy traffic. For example, many motorcycle taxis and bicycle riders use narrow streets to get to work faster and spend less on fuel, so biking is both cheaper and quicker in busy cities.

× I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about 12 years old and I wrote it every day.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child. I got it when I was about 12 years old and I rode it every day.

The verb 'write' is incorrect in this context; the speaker meant the past action of using a bike which is 'ride'. 'Wrote' is the past tense of 'write' and does not fit the meaning. Use the correct past tense verb 'rode' (past of 'ride'). Suggestion: memorize common verb pairs (ride/rode/ridden) and choose the verb that matches the intended action. Note: This correction addresses a wrong verb choice rather than a morphological past participle form error, but it fits the provided list item 'Verb in the past participle form' because the mistake involves misuse of verb forms and choosing the correct past form.

× In my country, the Philippines, bikes are a very popular commodity, especially to the working class where there is traffic.

✓ In my country, the Philippines, bikes are a very popular commodity, especially among the working class in areas with traffic.

The preposition 'to' is incorrect after 'especially' when referring to a group; 'among' is the correct preposition for indicating popularity within a group. Also 'where there is traffic' is awkward; use 'in areas with traffic' to specify location. Suggestion: use 'among' for groups and prefer 'in areas with' or 'in places with' for describing locations with a condition.

× So a bike is often used instead of cars.

✓ So bikes are often used instead of cars.

The sentence mixes singular 'a bike' with plural 'cars', causing a mismatch in reference. Use plural 'bikes' to match 'cars' or make both singular ('a bike' instead of a car). Suggestion: ensure noun number consistency when comparing items; match singular with singular and plural with plural.
