Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is relevant and provides useful details about borrowing your brother’s bike and learning independently. However, correct several grammar and word-choice errors: say “own one” instead of “own 1,” “didn’t teach me” instead of “didn’t taught me,” “learn to ride” instead of “learn riding,” and “by myself” instead of “on by myself.” Use a clearer structure by giving a direct answer first, then explaining how you learned. Avoid repeating “bike” unnecessarily.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have my own bike when I was a child, but my brother owned one, so I used to borrow it. My father didn’t teach me how to ride, so I learned by myself. It was difficult at first, but I eventually became quite confident.

Sugestão: You answer the question directly, but the response needs more accurate grammar and a more natural explanation. Say “Not really” with a comma, “in my neighborhood” instead of “on my neighborhood,” and “the most common modes of transportation” instead of “are the commonly mode of transportation.” Use a linking word such as “instead” to connect the lack of cycling with the popularity of cars and public transport. Add one specific reason, such as long distances, traffic conditions, or a lack of bike lanes.

Exemplo: Not really. I rarely see people riding bikes in my neighborhood because most residents travel relatively long distances. Instead, cars, buses, and vans are the most common forms of transportation. There also aren’t many dedicated bike lanes, so cycling is not particularly convenient or safe.

× My brother used to own one, so instead of buying a new one for myself, I borrowed his own bike.

✓ My brother used to own one, so instead of buying a new one for myself, I borrowed his bike.

The pronoun one is used correctly to refer to a bike. However, his own bike is unnecessarily emphatic here. The possessive pronoun his already shows that the bike belonged to your brother. Use his bike for a more natural sentence.

× My father didn't taught me how to ride a bike.

✓ My father didn't teach me how to ride a bike.

After the past-tense auxiliary did not or didn't, use the base form of the verb, not the past-tense form. Therefore, taught must be changed to teach.

× I decided to learn riding a bike on by myself.

✓ I decided to learn to ride a bike by myself.

After decide, use the infinitive form to + base verb. Therefore, decided to learn is correct, and learn riding should be learn to ride. Also, the phrase is by myself, not on by myself.

× I decided to learn riding a bike on by myself.

✓ I decided to learn to ride a bike by myself.

The expression by myself means without help or independently. The preposition on should not be used before by myself. Use by myself as a fixed expression.

× No, not really. I don't see someone riding a bike on my neighborhood.

✓ No, not really. I don't see anyone riding a bike in my neighborhood.

Use in with areas or places such as neighborhood: in my neighborhood. In a negative sentence, anyone is generally more appropriate than someone because it refers to any person at all.

× Cars, especially private cars, buses, and vans are the commonly mode of transportation being used by people.

✓ Cars, especially private cars, buses, and vans, are the common modes of transportation used by people.

The subject lists several types of vehicles, so mode should be plural: modes. Also, common is the adjective needed before the noun modes; commonly is an adverb and cannot directly modify a noun in this position.

× Cars, especially private cars, buses, and vans are the commonly mode of transportation being used by people.

✓ Cars, especially private cars, buses, and vans, are the common modes of transportation used by people.

Common is an adjective that modifies the noun modes. Commonly is an adverb, so it cannot be used directly before mode or modes in this sentence.
