Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly with “No” and explain the reason using accurate past-tense grammar. Say “I was a child,” “my parents couldn’t afford one,” and “I usually walked to school” instead of “go to school by my foot.” Avoid repeating “so” by using linking words such as “because” and “as a result.”

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn’t afford one. As a result, I usually walked to school. It was quite tiring, but I enjoyed walking with my friends.

Sugestão: Give a complete and clearly organized answer. Replace the incorrect expression “are being ridered” with “ride bikes” or “are riding bikes,” and explain specifically why bikes are popular. The final phrase is incomplete and unclear, so mention a concrete purpose, such as commuting, exercise, or making cycling videos. Avoid fillers such as “uh” and “umm.”

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among teenagers and university students. Many people ride them to stay fit, travel short distances, or make cycling videos for their blogs. They are also a convenient and inexpensive way to get around.

× I did not have any bike because I was child, so my parents also cannot afford for me, so I usually go to school by my foot.

✓ I did not have a bike because I was a child, and my parents could not afford one for me, so I usually went to school on foot.

Singular countable nouns such as bike and child usually need an article. Use a bike and a child instead of any bike and child in this context. Use a before a singular countable noun when referring to one nonspecific item.

× I did not have any bike because I was child, so my parents also cannot afford for me, so I usually go to school by my foot.

✓ I did not have a bike because I was a child, and my parents could not afford one for me, so I usually went to school on foot.

The question asks about the student’s childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Cannot should become could not, and go should become went. Keeping the verbs in the past tense makes the time reference consistent.

× I did not have any bike because I was child, so my parents also cannot afford for me, so I usually go to school by my foot.

✓ I did not have a bike because I was a child, and my parents could not afford one for me, so I usually went to school on foot.

The fixed expression is on foot, not by my foot. Also, afford does not normally take for directly after it in this structure. Say afford one for me, where one replaces a bike.

× I did not have any bike because I was child, so my parents also cannot afford for me, so I usually go to school by my foot.

✓ I did not have a bike because I was a child, and my parents could not afford one for me, so I usually went to school on foot.

The original sentence joins several clauses with repeated so, which makes the structure awkward and difficult to follow. Use and to connect the additional information, and use so only for the final result. This creates a clearer cause-and-effect relationship.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because, uh, many teenagers are being, uh, ridered and they are, umm, doing their blogs, uh, by.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many teenagers ride them and write about them on their blogs.

Ridered is not the correct past participle or verb form of ride. However, the sentence describes an activity that the teenagers actively do, so the active verb ride is appropriate. Do not create a past participle by adding -ed to ride.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because, uh, many teenagers are being, uh, ridered and they are, umm, doing their blogs, uh, by.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many teenagers are riding them and writing about them on their blogs.

After are, an ongoing action uses the present participle form ending in -ing. The correct forms are riding and writing. The phrase are being ridered incorrectly uses a passive structure instead of showing that the teenagers are doing the action themselves.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because, uh, many teenagers are being, uh, ridered and they are, umm, doing their blogs, uh, by.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many teenagers ride them and write about them on their blogs.

Are being ridered is an incorrect passive construction. Teenagers are the people who ride the bikes, so an active voice structure is needed: teenagers ride them. Active voice makes the meaning clear.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because, uh, many teenagers are being, uh, ridered and they are, umm, doing their blogs, uh, by.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many teenagers ride them and write about them on their blogs.

The sentence ends with the incomplete preposition by, which does not connect correctly to the rest of the sentence. To express the intended meaning, use on their blogs after write about them. Avoid leaving a preposition without a clear object or grammatical purpose.

× Yes, bikes are popular in my country because, uh, many teenagers are being, uh, ridered and they are, umm, doing their blogs, uh, by.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular in my country because many teenagers ride them and write about them on their blogs.

The original sentence contains incomplete and unclear phrases, especially doing their blogs and the final by. Use parallel verbs, ride and write, and complete the phrase write about them on their blogs. This produces a complete and understandable sentence.
