Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and avoid repeating words such as “yeah, sure” and “I had.” Use the past tense consistently because you are describing your childhood. Also, say “a pink bike” rather than “a bike in pink color,” and explain your feelings more clearly with a linking word such as “because.” Keep the answer to two or three fluent sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. I was very attached to it because it was my first and only bike, so I still remember it clearly.

Sugestão: Start with a clear opinion, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Avoid hesitation and repetition, including “I see” and “I can see.” Use natural expressions like “ride a bike” and “convenient for getting around” instead of “comfortable for using.” Add one specific reason or example to make the answer more effective.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who live in crowded cities. They are convenient for short journeys and can help people avoid traffic jams, so I often see cyclists when I go out.

× Yeah, sure, I yeah, sure I would have.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question asks about a past situation, so the answer should use the past auxiliary did. Would have is not appropriate here because it expresses a hypothetical or conditional situation. Give a direct answer such as Yes, I did or No, I did not.

× I had the bike when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

Use the indefinite article a when mentioning a singular countable noun for the first time. The article the suggests that the listener already knows which bike you mean.

× It was pink color.

✓ It was pink.

When describing the color of something, use the adjective pink directly after the linking verb was. Color is unnecessary in this sentence. You could also say It was a pink color, but It was pink is more natural.

× I was so like my bike.

✓ I really liked my bike.

The verb like should be in the simple past form liked because the speaker is describing feelings about a bike in childhood. Really is the correct adverb to intensify liked; so cannot be used directly before like in this structure.

× I have only one bike when I was a child and now.

✓ I had only one bike when I was a child, and I still have it now.

Use had for the past period when I was a child. The phrase I still have it now correctly shows that the speaker continues to own the bike in the present. Use it to refer back to the previously mentioned bike.

× I probably think the bikes so popular in my country.

✓ I think bikes are very popular in my country.

The plural subject bikes needs the present-tense verb are. Also, think is already a reporting verb, so probably think is awkward here unless probably is needed to express uncertainty. A natural sentence is I think bikes are very popular in my country.

× Because I see it everywhere when I go out.

✓ Because I see them everywhere when I go out.

The pronoun must agree with the plural noun bikes. Use them, not it, to refer to more than one bike.

× I see I can see the bikes.

✓ I can see bikes everywhere.

The original sentence unnecessarily repeats two verb structures, I see and I can see. Use one clear present-tense structure. Can see is appropriate for describing what the speaker is able to observe.

× The bikes ... it's so comfortable for using, I think.

✓ I think they are very comfortable to use.

The plural pronoun they must be followed by are, not is. Also, use the infinitive to use after comfortable rather than for using in this sentence. The pronoun they correctly refers to bikes.
