Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly with “Yes, I did” and avoid saying “when I was old,” which changes the meaning; you probably mean “when I was young.” Reduce fillers such as “I, I,” “uh,” and “honestly” to sound more fluent. Add one specific detail about the bike or what happened later, using a linking word such as “however” or “although.”

Exemplo: Yes, I did. My father gave me a small blue bike when I was young. However, I didn’t know how to ride it at first, so he spent several weekends teaching me.

Sugestão: The answer is relevant and has a clear opinion, but correct the grammar in “Every child's owned or had a bike in his childhood” to “Almost every child owns or has owned a bike.” Avoid the informal filler “like” and use the natural phrase “a form of transportation” or simply “transport.” Add a specific reason or example to make the answer more developed and coherent.

Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Almost every child owns or has owned one, mainly because bikes are affordable and easy to use. In addition, many adults ride them for short trips or to get to work.

× I remember I did have a bike when I was old.

✓ I remember I did have a bike when I was young.

Old means having lived for many years, whereas young is the appropriate adjective for talking about childhood. Use young when describing the period of life when you were a child.

× Every child's owned or had a bike in his childhood.

✓ Every child owned or had a bike in childhood.

Every is followed by a singular noun, so the subject should be every child, not every child's. The apostrophe in child's incorrectly marks possession or a contraction and cannot be used before the verbs owned or had.

× Some people use bikes for like a form of transportation.

✓ Some people use bikes as a form of transportation.

Use as to show the function or role of something. The phrase use something as a form of transportation is grammatically correct. The word like is unnecessary in this sentence.
