Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and use the correct past-tense structure. Avoid repeating the same idea and do not ask the examiner a question. A clear answer should include whether you had a bike and, if possible, one brief supporting detail.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it was unsafe for me to ride on the busy roads in our neighborhood.

Sugestão: State your opinion clearly with a complete sentence, using “bikes” as the plural noun and “are popular” as the verb phrase. Add a specific reason or example, and use a linking word such as “because” to make your answer more coherent.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and young adults. They are convenient and affordable, and many people use them to commute to school or work.

× Do you have any?

✓ Did you have any?

The examiner asked about the student's childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use did instead of do when referring to a past situation.

× I have no bike.

✓ I did not have a bike.

Have is in the present tense, but the question asks about the student's childhood. Use did not have to express past possession. The article a is also needed before the singular countable noun bike.

× I was no bike.

✓ I did not have a bike.

The verb was cannot express possession in this sentence. Use the structure subject + did not have + object to say that you did not possess a bike in the past.

× Yes biker, most popular in our in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

Biker refers to a person who rides a bike, whereas the answer is about bikes. Because the answer refers to bikes in general, use the plural noun bikes. Also, very popular is more appropriate here than most popular because no comparison is being made.

× Yes biker, most popular in our in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

The original sentence does not contain a complete main verb. Add are after the plural subject bikes to form a complete sentence.

× Yes biker, most popular in our in my country.

✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country.

The phrase our in my country is incorrect and contains unnecessary words. Use in my country to indicate where bikes are popular.
