Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer responds directly and uses the past-tense expression “used to” correctly. However, it repeats the examiner’s wording and would be more engaging with one specific detail, such as where you rode the bike or how you felt about it.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike and often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

Sugestão: Answer the question clearly at the beginning by saying whether bikes are popular. Your comparison with motorcycles and cars is relevant, but the sentence is awkward: use “people use” for a general situation rather than mixing “are using” and “were using.” Add a specific reason or context, such as commuting in busy cities.

Exemplo: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. Most people prefer motorcycles or cars because they are faster and more convenient for commuting, although some people still cycle for exercise.

× Umm, maybe because many people right now in my country are using motorcycles, cars and just a few people were using bikes.

✓ Umm, maybe because many people in my country use motorcycles and cars, and only a few people use bikes.

The answer describes current general habits, so use the present simple consistently: use, rather than were using, which refers to the past. The present simple is more natural than are using when describing what people generally use. You can also use only a few to express that the number of bike users is small.
