Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is clear and directly responds to the question, and you provide a specific reason and brief supporting detail. To improve, make the response slightly more natural and varied by adding a short linking phrase and a brief reflection or contrast (e.g., how you felt about it or how it influenced you). Also try to vary sentence openings and avoid repeating time phrases ("when I was a child" and "at the time").

Exemplo: No, I didn't have a bike as a child because my family couldn't afford one. Instead, I usually walked to school or took the bus with friends, which meant I spent more time talking and socializing on the way to school.

Sugestão: This answer is relevant, coherent and provides clear reasons. To raise your score, use a linking word to connect reasons, add a brief specific example or statistic, and vary vocabulary (e.g., use "cost-effective" or "environmentally friendly"). Avoid small grammatical slips: say "they help avoid" or "they reduce" rather than "avoid" alone. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, bicycles are very popular in my country because they are far more cost-effective than cars and easier to use in crowded cities. For example, many people cycle to work to save on fuel and parking fees, and cycling also helps reduce traffic congestion and pollution.

× They are also convenient for getting around crowded cities and avoid the high fuel and maintenance cost of cars.

✓ They are also convenient for getting around crowded cities and avoid the high fuel and maintenance costs of cars.

The sentence coordinates two verbs 'getting' (gerund) and 'avoid' after 'convenient for'. Parallel structure requires both elements to be in the same form; 'getting around' is a gerund phrase, so the second element should also be a gerund: 'avoiding'. Alternatively, if keeping 'avoid', the structure must change to 'and they avoid' with a subject. Also 'cost' should be plural as it refers to multiple types of costs. Suggested corrected version uses plural 'costs'. Specific suggestion: change 'avoid' to 'avoiding' or insert a subject: 'and they avoid the high fuel and maintenance costs of cars.'

× In my country, bicycles are very popular because they are much cheaper than other vehicles and affordable for most people.

✓ In my country, bicycles are very popular because they are much cheaper than other vehicles and are affordable for most people.

The second clause lacks an explicit verb for 'affordable', causing a parallelism and sentence structure issue. To be grammatically correct, include the verb 'are' before 'affordable'. This keeps parallel verb forms and clarity. Suggestion: always ensure both coordinated predicates have verbs: 'are much cheaper... and are affordable...'.
