Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and avoid contradicting yourself: saying “Absolutely no” conflicts with saying that you had a bicycle. Use the past tense “rode” instead of “ride,” and say “to school” rather than “to the school.” You can also explain how often you used the bicycle and why.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bicycle when I was a child. I rode it to school every day because it was convenient and enjoyable. I also used it to visit my friends in the neighborhood.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence and organize your reasons with linking words such as “because” and “as a result.” Use natural expressions like “easy to ride,” “heavy traffic,” and “get around,” rather than “different traffic is happening.” Also, distinguish clearly between bicycles and motorcycles, since the answer shifts from bikes to motorcycles. Add one specific detail about your city to make the response more effective.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in crowded cities. They are affordable and convenient, and people can use them to get around more easily in heavy traffic. In my city, many people prefer motorcycles to cars because motorcycles are faster and easier to park.

× Absolutely no.

✓ Absolutely not.

Absolutely no is not a complete negative response in this context. Use the adverb not to form a natural short answer to a yes-or-no question. You can also say No, I did not.

× I did not have any bike when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I ride daily while going to the school.

✓ I did not have any bikes when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I rode daily while going to school.

The plural noun bikes is used after any when referring generally to countable objects. Practice using any with plural countable nouns in negative sentences, such as I did not have any books.

× I did not have any bike when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I ride daily while going to the school.

✓ I did not have any bikes when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I rode daily while going to school.

The question asks about a past period in your childhood, so ride must be changed to its past-tense form, rode. When describing repeated past actions, use the past tense consistently. For example, I rode my bicycle every day.

× I did not have any bike when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I ride daily while going to the school.

✓ I did not have any bikes when I was outside, but I had a bicycle that I rode daily while going to school.

The expression go to school normally does not take the definite article when school refers to the general activity of attending school. Use go to the school only when referring to a specific school building.

✓ Yes, in my country bikes are very popular because they are very easy to use. Different types of traffic occur every day, so it is easy to travel from place to place. There is also heavy traffic in my city, so more people prefer motorcycles to cars.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to the plural noun bikes. Use they for plural nouns. Check that pronouns agree with the nouns they replace: a bike is easy to use, but bikes are easy to use.

× Yes in my country bikes are very popular because it is very easy to use and different traffic is happening daily it is easy to go here and there and also there is a heavy traffic in my city so more people prefer a motorcycle rather than a car.

✓ Yes, in my country bikes are very popular because they are very easy to use. Different types of traffic occur every day, so it is easy to travel from place to place. There is also heavy traffic in my city, so more people prefer motorcycles to cars.

The original answer combines several independent ideas without clear sentence boundaries or conjunctions. Divide the ideas into shorter sentences and use linking words such as so and also. This makes your response clearer and easier to follow.

× Yes in my country bikes are very popular because it is very easy to use and different traffic is happening daily it is easy to go here and there and also there is a heavy traffic in my city so more people prefer a motorcycle rather than a car.

✓ Yes, in my country bikes are very popular because they are very easy to use. Different types of traffic occur every day, so it is easy to travel from place to place. There is also heavy traffic in my city, so more people prefer motorcycles to cars.

Traffic is an uncountable noun in this meaning, so it does not take the indefinite article a. Say heavy traffic, not a heavy traffic. Use a only with a singular countable noun, such as a motorcycle.

× Yes in my country bikes are very popular because it is very easy to use and different traffic is happening daily it is easy to go here and there and also there is a heavy traffic in my city so more people prefer a motorcycle rather than a car.

✓ Yes, in my country bikes are very popular because they are very easy to use. Different types of traffic occur every day, so it is easy to travel from place to place. There is also heavy traffic in my city, so more people prefer motorcycles to cars.

The answer discusses people in general, so the plural forms motorcycles and cars are more appropriate than the singular forms a motorcycle and a car. Use plural nouns when making general comparisons between categories.
