Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make your answer past-tense, start with a clear topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details, and avoid unnecessary words. Use linking words if you expand. Keep it within 3–4 short sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child I had a small black bike with a basket on the front. I rode it to visit my friends and practice on quiet streets, which helped me become confident riding alone.

Sugestão: Answer directly and expand with specific reasons and a linking word. Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, articles) and more precise vocabulary. Limit to 2–4 sentences and avoid absolute statements unless supported.

Exemplo: No, bicycles are not very popular in my country because most people prefer cars and other four-wheeled vehicles. In addition, the lack of dedicated bike lanes and poor road conditions makes cycling less safe and practical, especially for commuting.

× Yes, I have a black bike.

✓ Yes, I had a black bike.

Grammar problem type ID:6 Present tense issue. The examiner asked about the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use the past tense 'had' instead of present 'have'. Use past tense to match the time reference; practice forming past simple for regular verbs (have -> had).

× No they don't.

✓ No, they aren't.

The student used 'they don't' which implies 'they do not [verb]'; the intended meaning is that bikes are not popular, describing a state, so the correct form is the negative of the verb 'to be' for plural subjects in present: 'they aren't'. This is a subject-verb agreement and verb choice issue: use 'are' for plural nouns when describing states ('bikes are popular' -> 'they aren't').

× People in my country prefer to use cars or 4 wheel vehicles as there are no proper road for bikes.

✓ People in my country prefer to use cars or four-wheel vehicles because there are no proper roads for bikes.

Multiple errors: '4 wheel' should be 'four-wheel' (compound adjective) and spelled out in formal writing; 'as' is acceptable but 'because' is clearer for cause; 'no proper road' is wrong number: 'roads' should be plural to match 'bikes' and general meaning. This falls under incorrect use of prepositions/number and adjective formation. Suggestions: use plural nouns when speaking generally (roads), hyphenate compound adjectives before a noun (four-wheel), and use 'because' to express reason clearly.
