Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Use the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Also, correct “back bike” to “a bike” and avoid the unnecessary auxiliary “do.” Begin with a direct answer and add one specific detail to make it more natural and complete.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a small blue bike, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

Sugestão: Give a clear answer without repeating “really,” and use correct plural and article forms: “these bikes,” “cars,” and “trains.” Add punctuation or linking words, such as “In fact” and “because,” to connect your ideas. You should also explain why bikes are popular with one specific reason, such as convenience, affordability, or environmental benefits.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. In fact, many people use them instead of cars or public transportation because they are affordable, convenient, and environmentally friendly, especially for short journeys.

× Yes, I do have a back bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.

The question refers to a past time, when I was a child, so the past-tense auxiliary did is required instead of the present-tense do. Also, bike is the correct noun here; back bike is not a standard expression. When answering questions about past experiences, use did or a past-tense verb, such as I did have or I had.

× I really do think that bikes are really popular in my country in fact a lot of people use this bikes instead of car train and other public transportation.

✓ I really do think that bikes are really popular in my country. In fact, a lot of people use these bikes instead of cars, trains, and other forms of public transportation.

These must be used with the plural noun bikes, not this bikes. Cars and trains should also be plural because the sentence refers to transportation in general. Use this with one singular item and these with more than one item. Also, use plural nouns when speaking generally about vehicles, such as cars and trains.
