Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly, then add one or two details about the bike or how you used it. Correct the tense errors: use “I can’t remember” for something you don’t remember now, and “I used it a lot” for a past habit. Avoid fillers such as “um,” and finish the answer with a complete sentence.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was about ten. It was a birthday present from one of my relatives, although I can’t remember exactly who gave it to me. I used it often to ride around my neighborhood after school.

Sugestão: Give a clear answer about China rather than changing the topic to “some countries.” Support your opinion with a specific reason or example, and use a natural connector such as “especially” or “because.” Reduce fillers and clarify that bikes are common in certain areas, rather than suggesting that they are popular because there is space on the roads.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are still popular in some parts of China, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. They’re affordable and convenient for short journeys, and people can often avoid traffic by cycling. In big cities, though, many people rely more on public transport.

× I couldn't remember which one he or she is.

✓ I couldn't remember which one he or she was.

The speaker is describing a past situation, so the verb should also be in the past tense. Change 'is' to 'was' to keep the tense consistent.

× I still remember that I use that bike a lot.

✓ I still remember that I used that bike a lot.

The speaker is referring to how often they rode the bike during childhood, a past period. Use 'used' rather than 'use' for that past action. 'I still remember' remains in the present because the speaker remembers it now.
