Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly with the past tense “had,” and avoid repeating words or restarting sentences. The phrase “I died my bike” is unclear; if you mean that you rode the bike with your father, say so explicitly. Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence followed by one or two specific details, such as the bike’s color and a memory with your father. Keep the response to two or three fluent sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. I often rode it with my father in the park, so I have very fond memories of it. That is probably why I still enjoy cycling today.

Sugestão: Your main idea is clear, but improve the grammar and naturalness of several expressions. Say “it impressed me” rather than “it’s impressed me,” and replace “I want it so bad” with “I really want to cycle more” or “I would really like to cycle more.” Explain why cars are more popular, and use a clearer contrast between your country and Italy. Avoid repeating “popular” unnecessarily and connect your ideas smoothly.

Exemplo: No, bikes are not especially popular in my country because most people prefer to drive cars, especially for commuting. However, I was impressed by how many people cycled when I visited Italy. This made me want to cycle more often in the future.

× Yes, I I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form had is required instead of the present-tense form have. Avoid repeating the subject pronoun I.

× That's why I like my bike and I have.

✓ That's why I like my bike, and I still have it.

The clause I have is incomplete because the verb have needs an object in this context. Add it to clarify what you still possess. Also, use a comma before and to connect the two complete clauses clearly.

× In many countries bikes are more popular.

✓ In many countries, bikes are more popular than they are in my country.

The comparative expression more popular needs a clear comparison. Adding than they are in my country shows what the popularity of bikes is being compared with.

× It’s impressed me when I was in Italy.

✓ It impressed me when I was in Italy.

The phrase when I was in Italy refers to a specific completed time in the past, so use the simple past impressed. Here, it means that the popularity of bikes impressed you.

× I want it so bad.

✓ I want it so badly.

Bad is an adjective, while badly is the adverb traditionally used to modify the verb want. In informal speech, so bad is common, but so badly is the grammatically standard form.
