Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly, then describe the toy clearly. “A ride-on toy car” is more natural than “a car for children,” and the age range should be stated clearly. Avoid fillers such as “like” and “uh”; one or two supporting details are enough.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child. Instead, I had a small ride-on toy car, which I used when I was about two to eight years old.

Sugestão: State your opinion confidently in the present tense: use “I don’t think…” rather than “I didn’t think…”. Make the subject and verb agree (“bikes are”), and replace the unclear rhetorical question with a specific example or reason. Avoid repeating words and fillers.

Exemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country, especially in busy cities. However, you can still see people riding them for exercise or in parks, where there is less traffic.
