Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly in one clear sentence, then add a specific reason or detail. Avoid repeating yourself and correct the grammar: use “I didn’t have,” not “I didn’t had,” and say “I wasn’t a very sporty kid” rather than “I’m not a very sporty kind of kid.” Complete the final idea instead of ending with “so a having a.”

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I wasn’t very sporty. I preferred playing indoors, so I never learned how to ride one properly.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence and organize the supporting details with linking words. Correct the grammar and phrasing: use “bikes are very popular,” “most children growing up have their own bikes,” and “this trend is becoming popular.” Replace vague expressions such as “going here” and “gears and stuff” with specific language, such as “cycling equipment and accessories.”

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines. Most children have a bike while they are growing up, and cycling has also become trendy among adults. In fact, many adults invest in high-quality bicycles and safety equipment for exercise and leisure.

× No, I didn't had.

✓ No, I didn't have one.

After the auxiliary verb did or didn't, use the base form of the verb, have, not the past-tense form had. A useful pattern is subject + did not + base verb.

× A bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

This is a sentence fragment because it does not have a subject and a complete verb phrase. Use a complete structure such as subject + verb + object.

× I'm not a very sporty kind of kid, so a having a.

✓ I wasn't a very sporty kid, so I didn't have one.

The phrase a having a is incomplete and cannot function as a verb phrase. Use the complete past-tense clause I didn't have one. Because the answer refers to childhood, the past tense wasn't is also more appropriate.

× Yes, I think it is very popular kind of thing in our country.

✓ Yes, I think it is a very popular kind of thing in our country.

The singular countable noun phrase kind of thing needs the indefinite article a. Use a before a singular countable noun when referring to one example of a general type.

× Because most of the kids growing up, they have their own bikes.

✓ Because most kids growing up have their own bikes.

The original sentence contains two subjects, most of the kids and they, in the same clause. Remove the unnecessary pronoun they so that the sentence has one clear subject and one main verb.

× Even adults, it's kind of like a trendy thing right now going here in the Philippines.

✓ Even among adults, it is kind of a trendy thing right now in the Philippines.

The original wording has an unclear sentence structure and uses going here incorrectly. Use even among adults to introduce the group being discussed, and place the location phrase in the Philippines after the main idea.

× A lot of adults would really invest in their gears and stuff.

✓ A lot of adults would really invest in their gear and stuff.

Gear is normally an uncountable noun when it means equipment, so it does not usually take the plural form gears. Use their gear to refer to equipment in general.
