Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is direct, but it is too short to demonstrate your speaking ability. Add a brief explanation, such as whether you preferred another form of transportation or why you did not have a bike. Use one or two connected sentences.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t. My parents thought cycling on busy roads was unsafe, so they usually drove me to school. However, I learned to ride a bike when I was a teenager.

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and develop your idea with a specific reason or example. Correct the pronoun and noun choice: say “their bikes” or “bicycles,” not “his bike.” Also, “for transportation” is more natural than “for their transportation.”

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who live in crowded cities. Many people use their bikes for transportation because they are inexpensive and help them avoid traffic. In addition, cycling is becoming more popular as a form of exercise.

The pronoun his refers to one male person, but many people is plural and does not identify a specific gender. Use their to refer to people in general. Also, their bikes agrees with the plural subject many people. For general purposes, transportation is normally used without their.

× Yeah, many people use his bike for their transportation.

✓ Yeah, many people use their bikes for transportation.

The plural subject many people should logically refer to the plural noun bikes when talking about the bicycles used by different people. Use bikes rather than bike in this context. Remember to use a plural noun after a plural subject when referring to multiple items.
